‘Three Score Years and Ten‪’‬

A red-sealed order calls Lieutenant Nathan Clark west, and he fears it means years apart from his wife and baby. Charlotte reads it twice—then tells him she is coming with him.

In the early nineteenth century, the Clarks leave their snug Hartford home for a military post on the Mississippi, traveling by schooner, batteau, and portage toward a country still unknown to them. Charlotte faces the perils of the journey with an infant in her arms, while her husband’s regiment struggles through exhausting delays and dwindling supplies. Ahead lie strange rivers, uneasy encounters, and hardships no comfortable home could prepare them for. How far can love and resolve carry a young family into the wilderness?
