In this breathtaking climax, Bass, the hardy survivor of a world now gone, prepares to fight his magnificent final battle.
The wild and free world of the mountain man is quickly fading into the past. For Titus Bass, leading his family north to winter with the Crow people, the journey is a sad one. He must save an old friend from death and rescue his daughter Magpie from cutthroat traders. He will try to free a wagon train of innocents from its unscrupulous leader, and he will try to come to terms with his long–lost daughter Amanda, bound for a new home in a faraway land Bass himself will never see.
But when he arrives in the land of the Crow, he finds old friends—and old ways—dying out. Determined to live out his final years in peace, Bass comes to realize that, on the changing frontier, survival is never a certain thing. Soon he will face his greatest lesson and hardest challenge of all—one that might cost the last of the legendary mountain men his life.
