Description

Volume 1 of Dragon Tooth Gold begins the story of Aaden Callahan and Anna Mercier; two landed immigrants. They met while teaching at Columbia University in New York City. The year is 1841. The young Dr. Callahan woos and wins the heart of the smart and beautiful Anna. Their courtship isn't easy. Anna's abusive and dominating father doesn't approve and works to have Aaden fired from the University. Anna's father challenges Aaden to a duel to settle the matter. Aaden embarrasses Anna's father beyond repair in front of thousands of spectators in Faculty Park, across the street from the front gate of the University. Losing the duel and missing an earlobe, the banker's world crumbles around him. He takes his life in a drunken stupor when he finds his accounts frozen and receives divorce papers from his wife's lawyers.Aaden and Anna are spirited away from New York on his younger brother's whiskey schooner Blessed by the Wind. The blessed is no ordinary schooner. Armed and deadly they fight off pirates in Pamlico Sound and an Argentine frigate in the Caribbean. Aaden takes his wife and her servant family from New York to Independence, Missouri. There, he establishes an empire partnering with blacks he frees to take up homesteads around his holdings. Aaden spends his years building his lumber and brewery business. Anna founds a school in Independence for children of all colors and creeds. The abolitionist culture they create causes many problems the pro-slavery dominated state resulting in conflicts with slavers and even an assassination attempt. Aaden and Anna raise four children. Eli, the oldest, and twin boys, Jacques and Roland, travel west on the Santa Fe Trail working in the Army Supply Service after their parents perish in a tornado that rips apart the empire built by Aaden and his associates.
