  • "Life was hard on the remote farm on the Blue River in the Wisconsin territory of the 1820s, but to fifteen-year-old Kevin Trask it was a young man's paradise. As hard as his pioneering family worked to carve out a homesite, there was still plenty of time for hunting, fishing and roaming the woods. But while the Trasks were at peace with their surroundings and content to reap the benefits resulting from their labours, other white men were more interested in persecuting the local Sac Indians in a series of violent acts and treacherous dealings. And when the once peaceful Sacs struck back to regain their lost homelands, under the leadership of their famous chief Black Hawk, the scene was set for violence and tragedy."@en

  • "In the spring of 1832, the wilderness had been opened and the young United States was expanding ever westward. Only a few trappers and the Trask family had settled in the Blue River valley of Wisconsin territory. But before them had been Black Hawk and his people. And the chief wasn't happy about the U.S. government forcing them out. Soon the peaceable Trask family would be dragged into a bloody war to save their land--and their lives.--Publisher description."@en
