As foreign invaders sweep across the land, generations work to preserve and conceal this 'lost' manuscript.The story unfolds over centuries, from the burning of a local fort by Native American tribes to the rise of White settlers and industrialists. Despite attempts to erase indigenous culture, the manuscript endures, hidden away until a young graduate student discovers it by chance.
