On the rebound and tired of life alone, and because Adair is intelligent, quiet, and a reasonable enough choice, Angus marries her after all. He wouldn’t have, this time, except that Anna rejects Angus’s proposal. Rob is certain Angus and his sister will make a good pair. Meanwhile, Rob sends to Scotland for his young sister, Adair. He falls in love with the school teacher in the next settlement, Anna Ramsey. The life is hard, but working side-by-side, they scratch out a measure of success. In time, they stake their claims to plots of good Montana land and begin lives as sheep farmers. Still, he takes them under his wing and helps them embrace the challenges of the new world. And when they finally locate him, in a tiny idea of a town called Gros Ventre, he’s not the same man they remember. Once across the Atlantic, crossing the US is easy, but finding Lucas is harder than they thought. Every Christmas, Lucas sends $100.00 back to his kin, evidence of his success in the bountiful America.Īlthough terrified of water and reluctant to cross the Atlantic–a reasonable fear given what they go through in steerage–Angus is ready to follow the charismatic Rob to the end of the earth, believing that the free land awaiting them in Montana is worth the risk. Rob has an uncle, Lucas Barclay, who left Scotland years before to settle in Montana. His partner, the enthusiastic leader of the adventure, is Rob Barclay.
