Isaac Evers, a community leader and former militiaman, has established a small colony on Whidbey Island.

Weaving these story threads together into a powerful whole, Gar LaSalle tells the story of an unforgettable American adventure. --- Italian description: A metą dell’Ottocento il Nordovest Pacifico, un vasto territorio fatto di foreste impenetrabili e fiumi selvaggi, č punteggiato da piccoli insediamenti di coloni.
