Old Sam, a packer with army supplies, employs Will Morgan after three months together. Will has not signed on as a regular employee until after a river trip. Old Sam warns him against joining the militia, calling it worthless compared to enlisting in the regular forces.
Will Morgan travels from the packer’s camp toward Pittsburgh seeking to trade whiskey for cash. He collects a large jug and then searches a rough Pittsburgh trading area amid wary militiamen, settlers, and rough horse carts for buyers, aiming to swap whiskey for money.
In a frontier scene Morgan encounters Daniel Bolden and a North Carolina family newly arrived from Massachusetts. They discuss Indians and dangers along the Ohio frontier as settlers brace for raids and settling the land near Marietta. A dark-haired girl appears with a wary greeting.
