Abstract:
Young and ambitious, George Chase, takes his wife, Harriet, to pioneer a frontier town in Maine where he champions the oppressed in his rise to power. Chase wins a consulship to Hawaii, but on his way to the Pacific he confronts America’s disgrace – slavery. Persuaded to liberate a slave girl, Chase secrets her to freedom on the island of Maui where he oversees the whaling fleet, only to discover ships ruled like plantations. Arresting a ship captain for manslaughter, he inflames Washington from the White House to the Supreme Court.
