Isaac McClure is caught between his mother's world and his father's.
 This will be the story of his entire life. Born at Fort Astoria in 1824 to an Ehattesaht
mother and Scottish father, he later conceals his identity in order totravel with a wagon
train over the Oregon Trail.
 He becomes a prosperous member of the pioneer community in the Willamette Valley.
This community is racist to the core, however, and when by chance the fact that his
mother was an Indian is revealed, he's lucky to get out of town alive.
Only his old friend and trail mate Andrew is able to save him from a lynching.
Isaac enlists in the Union Army, intending to fight against slavery in the Civil War,but
the Army sends  him instead to Fort Yamhill where his job is to keep Indians imprisoned
on the Coast Reservation.
 During one trip to round up escapees, he accidentally shoots a young girl dead.
This hits him hard and causes an existential realization about the absurdity of life
generally and the futility in particular of his  attempts to escape his destiny.
When Isaac is released from the Army, he goes to British Columbia where he becomes
a successful owner of a blacksmith  and wagon shop and of the hardware store
 next door to it.
He lives in a grand house there with an Ehattesaht woman who reminds him of his
 mother.
