The year is 1878 when the Kid steps off a sloop in Seattle. Young Llano-an Irish/Cherokee drifter-signs on with the town’s biggest lumber operation where he proves himself worthy to the Yeslers and to his foreman-a Duwamish chief and grandfather to the woman he wishes to be his own.
Life in Yesler’s town is pleasant … until Llano is accused of murder with the weapon bearing his pa’s name. In the sheriff’s absence, the deputy left in charge wages a relentless battle to see the half-breed drifter hang. Can Llano defend his innocence and vindicate his reputation with the only woman he loves? This book contains some historical references to real characters of the time.
