Inspired by a true story: The river journey was supposed to take four weeks. Instead, more than four months after they left, a ragtag group of survivors limped into Fort Nashborough with a harrowing tale. Their river journey to the west had led them through Chickamauga Indian Territory at the height of the Chickmauga Indian War. They faced constant attacks,near starvation, frostbite, disease and deadly whirlpools. Some were captured... some killed... and some lived to tell the tale.
