Description

The western frontier erupts in 1777 as the newly independent colonies clash with powerful Native confederations and a determined British lieutenant‑governor. In Detroit, tribal leaders gather under the banner of peace only to be drawn into a heated council where promises, gifts, and threats swirl like the autumn wind. Henry Hamilton, the “hair‑buyer” general, fuels the fire by courting the warriors, turning the dense woods of the Alleghanies into a volatile battleground that tests both the resolve of the backwoods settlers and the strategic reach of the Continental forces.

Beyond the smoke of Detroit, bold pioneers push westward, embarking on daring raids, carving new settlements, and confronting the fierce realities of frontier life. From Clark’s daring Illinois expedition to the fierce struggles in Kentucky and the fragile administration of captured French forts, the narrative captures a landscape of ambition, conflict, and uneasy alliances. Listeners will experience the raw, unvarnished drama of a young nation fighting to claim its horizon while the echo of drums and musket fire reverberates across the untamed West.
