A Wild West Tale of Brimstead and Chicago Dreamers
In a fractured narrative set near a river crossing and a growing Chicago, Sam Ball Abe Lincoln and companions barter with a horse thief, chase a stranger from a tavern, and seek a guard against a looming land boom. They reach Chicago fields, visit Jack Kelso's home, and discuss marriage, loyalty, and a military call as Harry joins Col Taylor's Florida expedition while romance and risk swirl amid a feverish city.
