The year is 1868. The War Between the States is over, but the scars still remain. The Homestead Act and the ongoing construction of the trans-continental railroad have brought a new wave of settlers to the west. Situated on the old Oregon-California Trail in Nebraska Territory, the town of Sweetwater Crossing is the last stop before the Rockies, a popular trading post. The town has seen its share of troubles in recent years, including a bitter feud and a fire that burned much of the town. Now, rising from the ashes, the denizens of Sweetwater Crossing wonder what challenges may lie ahead.
