Synopsis

In July of 1813, America’s war against the British Empire had been in progress for just over a year. On the American frontier of the Mississippi Territory, thousands of American settlers feared for their lives as the nearby Red Stick faction of the Muscogee Creeks threatened to align with Great Britain. The Merrell Saga is based upon the true but complicated story of the Merrell family during and after this tumultuous period. When the Mississippi Territorial government sends out calls for volunteers to join the militia to defend the country from attack, Jack Merrell, a young husband and father, is torn between duty to his family and duty to his country. The decision that he makes will forever change the trajectory of his life and the lives of his family members. Jack and his wife, Sarah, separated by bizarre and unique circumstances, each experience hardships and tragedies which propel their lives into different directions. The stories of their individual struggles of survival, perseverance, and redemption lead to a heart-rending reunion that is extraordinarily unique in the chronicles of American pioneer history.
