Sierra Santa Cruz

BLAZE A TRAIL INTO PARADISE!
In the woods of Vermont, he built his strength cutting trees for his father. In the war of 1812, he mastered the ways of war and the need to fight for what he believed. And now, after seven years at sea, William Beard is ready to seek his fortune and pursue his dreams. He jumps ship, a hanging offense, and strikes out on his own, drawn by the sirenlike cries of a mysterious land—the great Northern California territory.

SIERRA SANTA CRUZ
Beard raises his hand to friends, his musket to his enemies, and his ax to the future—the redwoods standing tall against the sky. Deep in the violent and fertile interior of this unknown country, he will find himself on the brink of a new world—meeting new challenges, experiencing new freedoms, exploring new passions with the young squaw destined to become his wife. Sierra Santa Cruz is a breathtaking tale of the bold men and magnificent yearnings that built the American frontier.
