Overview

Boone returns from a solo expedition to find Boonesborough eerily empty. A corrupt British officer has kidnapped the settlers, including Boone's family, and forces them into unfriendly Chickesaw tribal lands with the intention of gaining personal control of the territory. He then captures Boone and demands that he sign away all rights to Boonesborough or watch his family and friends be turned over to the tribe. Boone manages to escape, but realizing he has no chance of freeing the captives on his own, he turns to a surprising source of help.
