In the early 1800s, America was a nation on the brink of change. The westward expansion had been a dream for many, and as the country began to grow, so did the opportunities for those willing to brave the unknown.
Chapter 1 of Horizon: An American Saga begins in the year 1835, as a young farmer named John Harrison sets out on a perilous journey to the west. With his family in tow, John braves harsh terrain, hostile native tribes, and ruthless bandits as they make their way across the untamed frontier.
