| John
Skipper is thrown into the world of the mountain-dwelling
Cherokee after a land and jewel prospector murders his
family. During his stay in the care of the Cherokee people,
he meets Tsalahi Hinote, daughter of Red Tree, the Cherokee
cheif. John discovers that George Prescott, the man who
murdered his family, had done so in order to profit from
emeralds he found on Cherokee land. John subsequently
takes his revenge on Prescott and departs, taking Tsalahi
with him - leaving the Cherokee to fend off blame from
the white settlers who seek to posssess their land.
John's
impetuous actions catch up with him years later when
his youngest son George Washington Skipper, is abducted
by a Cherokee woman who had befriended Tsalahi before
her death in bearing little George. John and his
sons John, Van, and Samuel search diligently for
George. When he cannot be found, Samuel blames himself
for what appears to be the death of his beloved younger
brother. Unknown to John and his sons, George and
his now-surrogate, Walking Wind, have presses onward
to meet the remaining tribes that are being relocated.
Years pass and the young Skipper men grow up. George,
who has been renamed Runaway Swimmer, marries and
becomes a successful farmer and protege to a Cherokee
leader.
Samuel
also becomes a farmer and has several children, the
oldest of whom he names after the brother he still
mourns. When his son is called into service, Samuel
volunteers in an attempt to protect him. Meanwhile,
Runaway, a seasones veteran in the Confederate Army,
is wounded and sent to Mobile, Alabama to train soldiers
who, in his estimation, are all too old or too young
to fight. The brothers look for a future that may
never be, and remember a past that could have been. |

and she learned the truth about the world that existed
