Synopsis: There were three ways to get to the gold fields and the promise of incredible wealth. The first was by ship around Cape Horn, the route taken by Rob Merriman and Clay Collins, fleeing a murder charge in Charleston. The second route was by stern-wheeler through the Gulf of Mexico, and from there overland to the Pacific. This was the route taken by Trevor Sloan, father of the man Merriman killed. Lisa Sizemore's parents chose the third way, overland by wagon train and liorse. When her father uprooted his family and headed west to seek his fortune, Lisa was afraid she would never see Clay Collins again. Whether drawn together by fate or luck, those who survived their brutal journeys would meet again in California with results no one could have expected.
