The Kent Family Chronicles Volume IV

The glittering saga of our America - and the people who made her great.

Spanning the young American continent...its burgeoning east coast cities...its warring frontiers... its lawless towns of the West...the continuing saga of the Kent family follows the dangerous bloodsoaked years of our Nation's might expansion and thrusts a brilliant new heroine into the foreground of its struggles. The victim of savagery, devastated by heartbreaking ambition - to restore the house of Kent is driven by one burning ambition - to restore the house of Kent to its rightful honor. Thus she beings her most daring adventure...

Here are a brave new generation of Kents, moving across American History's colorful canvas from its wild west days to the birth of its gilded age, and - poised unknowingly on the brink of their country's greatest turmoil - building a glorious, but fated, dynasty
