Four generations. Two centuries. One family's journey from frontier survival to industrial empire.

Samuel Dunlap, 1774

Book One

The Long Road Home

Detroit and the Great Lakes frontier, 1774 - 1795

Samuel Dunlap is sixteen when the first shots of revolution echo across the colonies. Trapped between empires at his family's remote trading post, he must navigate shifting alliances, brutal winters, and the slow collapse of the world his father built.

This is not a story of glory. It's a story of survival, compromise, and the choices that define a family for generations.
