In a setting devoid of modern technology or modern transportation a family story unfolds in the mid-18th century. Richard Harris served multiple capacities before family circumstances interfered. He served as a Presbyterian deacon, an attorney and a captain in the Connecticut militia before the French and Indian War. Though he was forced to resign from the militia service, he maintained a strong friendship with a Mohegan Indian sachem and his family. Their sons both went off to fight in the war and somehow survived, with one of them becoming an accomplished sharpshooter and the other a First Sergeant. In this story, love still blooms as Colonists began to marry Mohegans, children are found and some are lost – but they endure the struggles of their time in history.
