The main character, Richard Graham, comes from the east as a young man, by way of the Great Lakes, and the story follows him through his experiences, including the logging camps of Wisconsin and working as a pilot on the Wisconsin River, through his courtship and marriage, and his service in the Union Army during the Civil War.
