Robert McCray dreamed of the day when he would marry Lillian O'Hare. He went north with his father, Uncle Luke, and Cousin Isaac to Northwestern Pennsylvania. He built a shed behind the cabin to set up his blacksmith shop. The only tool that he needed was the anvil. Little did he know that in a matter of hours, all his dreams would come crashing down. Judith Campbell was the eldest of Duncan Campbell's three daughters. After her father lost his farm in a rigged land grab, he decided to take up the US government's offer to Revolutionary War veterans to settle on lands at no cost in unsettled parts of the country. Duncan and his family become neighbors to the Thorton and McCray families. There the three families bind together to survive the hardships of the wilderness. What is Robert and Judith's future?
