The Russian

Along the harsh north California coast the otters swam, enough to fill the Russian's trading ships with valuable pelts. So there they raised an outpost. But inland lay another land, a river wilderness where game and grizzly thrived. Into this wild land, stripped of his rank for marrying an Indian girl, Lieutenant Anton Rostov is cast. He is a man without a country, but still he is a man. He can hunt, trap, and conquer. And he discovers a power greater than his allegiance to a faraway Czar - the lure of a new world and the sweeping current of the Russian River.
