The new towns of Cheyenne and Laramie are established and the men begin to find their way to a new life. The territory is still raw and full of dangerous people as they find their place in the chaos that is the new American West. Along the way the men find love and support with the incredible women they meet. One of the women becomes a reporter for the fort Laramie treaty with the plains Indians and goes on to lead the fight for woman's suffrage rights. Good guys, bad guys, Indians and soldiers fight for their place in the wide open country of Wyoming in this sprawling novel of the 19th century.
