Book Description
When Roger Sudden came over from England with the first settlers of Halifax, Nova Scotia was the gateway to the riches and adventure of the New World. In its wooded wilds, French, British and Indians were fighting for possession of the American continent.
To Roger this struggle meant opportunity. A young aristocrat from Kent, he had become cynical and impoverished in the service of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Never one to champion a lost cause, Roger sailed west, determined to find wealth and power - the Golden Woman, as he called his desires.
The story of Roger Sudden's fate was violent and strange. He found his fortune bound up with John Fox, a rich gentleman on mysterious business in Halifax, and Mary, his beautiful red-headed wife. Captured by Indians, he was turned over to a black-eyed squaw who loved him. In time he came to be known as one of the richest, most ruthless traders in Canada. His end, when he dicovered the real Golden Woman, was a bitter, ironical twist of circumstance.
