Abercrombie Trail

Evan Jacobson is an immigrant Norwegian stage coach driver. The stops along his stage line introduce the families who live along the trail between Fort Snelling and Fort Abercrombie, and reveal their ultimate fate in the 1862 Sioux Uprising and the siege of Fort Abercrombie. Jacobson struggles with learning English, falling in love and fulfilling his dreams while living with events of the war in the South — and the one threatening on the next horizon.
