Sick of betrayals the United States government perpetrated on the Native Americans,
Colonel William Ludlow leaves the Army and moves to a remote part of Montana. Along with One Stab,
a Cree friend, he builds a ranch and raises his family. Accompanying them are hired hand and former
outlaw Decker, Decker's Cree wife Pet, and daughter Isabel Two. William has three sons: Alfred,
the eldest, is responsible and cautious; Tristan, the Colonel's favorite son, is wild and well-versed
in American Indian traditions; Samuel, the youngest, is educated but naive and constantly watched
over by his brothers. William's wife Isabel does not adapt to the harsh Montana winters and moves
to the East Coast; Tristan vows never to speak of her again. At age 12, Tristan touches a sleeping grizzly bear.
The bear awakens and injures him, but he stabs at the bear's paw and cuts off a claw. Years later, Samuel
returns from Harvard University with his fiancée, Susannah. Susannah talks with Isabel Two and learns
of her fondness for Tristan. Susannah finds Tristan captivating but loves Samuel. Before they can marry,
Samuel announces his intention to join the Canadian Expeditionary Force and aid Britain in the fight
