Oregon is divided . . .
Tensions are high.
A controversial religious sect has retreated to homesteads in the creek valleys of the Coast Range. Persecuted, they believe the Patriots have become tyrannical oppressors no longer holding legitimate authority. A Mountain Man's loyalty is only to God, family, and the church.
The Patriots remain loyal to the State and Federal Constitutions, convinced that only the rule of law can save the State and the Union.
Standing in the gap, trying to keep the peace, are the Oregonians.
Will there be liberty or will there be death?
