Book Cover & Preview Text
George thought about this for a while and sent word to the miners of their location and that the supply train would be open for business to all who wanted sugar cured hickory-smoked pork but they had to get their packhorses across the river to get it. The plan was to stay open for fourteen days, and then they were leaving. The miners started coming over on the ferryboat and at the end of fourteen days, they had sold all they wanted to sell. What they would keep for the trip back was in the possum bellies under the wagons.
As usual, Daniel had his eye on Cloris when a group of rough looking men went over to lay hands on this pretty young black woman. When they did, it was like a lightening bolt had struck. Daniel waded into the group that was feeling and pinching Cloris. He just literally picked them up, sometimes two at a time and threw them in the river. When they were all gone he turned to Cloris and asked if she was all right. She was surprised he had finally said something to her. She nodded yes and “thank you for helping me.” He just shook his head up and down and walked away. The vigilance committee wanted to hang Daniel for laying hands on white men but changed their mind when the hammers of over two hundred rifles could be heard clicking back in firing position. When the supplies were all sold the teams were hooked up and headed back over the mountains.

The fortunes of the Smith Clan are based on the premise that when people treat others as they wish to be treated, their lives will be blessed, and their lives were blessed. Each character, whether it is one from the Chinese, Black, Hispanic, Indian, or White race, manages to become successful. Their success does not come from luck, it comes from very hard work and a blending of co-operation from all who are involved.
