Gilbert 'Gil' Martin, a civilized man from the East coast colonies, finds himself a loving bride, Magdelana 'Lana', and takes her West to start a homestead in the Mohawk Valley (in Upstate New York). Gil joins the minutemen, but when the Indians it's named after attack the rebellious colonists, instigated by the British, their home and belongings go up in flames, Lana looses their baby. Destitute they move and find a wealthy old widow, who is happy to put them up in her fine estate in exchange for help from both of them, but the horrors of war catch up, even the fort isn't guaranteed safe.

In Revolutionary America, Gil Martin takes his new wife Lana back to his farm in upstate New York. The area is remote and a distance from the fort but they are happy living in their one room cabin. With the declaration independence, the settlers soon find themselves at war with the British and their Indian allies. Their farm is burned out and the Martins take work with Sarah McKlennar. The war continues however as the Martins try to make a new life.

Young farmer Gilbert Martin and his bride Lana marry shortly before the revolutionary war starts. They settle in Upstate New York and settle their homestead when the war begins. For the next six years Gilbert fights in the war as he and Lana try to establish their homestead.
