Oh, Promised Land by James Street
In 1795 the Mississippi Territory is open to settlement. After a Creek attack kills their parents, siblings Sam'l Dabney and Honoria leave Georgia for French Louisiana to find Lock Poka, which in Choktaw means here we rest or promised land. Sam rises to become a trader and armed protector, aided by his wife Donna and Choktaw companion Tishomingo. The story follows their ambitions, rivalries, and encounters with Indians, renegades, politicians and the competing French, Spanish, British and American interests between 1795 and 1817.
