Description
Set during the catastrophic New Madrid earthquake of 1812, Black Powder is
the story of Robert Young, a former captain in the Barbary Wars and his river
journey on America's first steamboat to rescue the woman he loves from a gang of
river pirates led by his cutthroat nemesis and former commander, Samuel Mason.
En route, he encounters hostile Indians, swashbuckling battles, and several
historical figures, all set against the backdrop of an earthquake that sinks
islands, reverses the flow of the Mississippi River, and wrenchingly exposes the
fractures of a new nation itself.
