Description: In her fourth novel of the Kentucky frontier, Janice Holt Giles tells the story of the Spanish Conspiracy, General James Wilkinson's 1783 plan to detach Kentucky from the United States and make it the nucleus of a Spanish empire in the West. Had it not been for the loyalty and determination of men like Giles's fictional hero, Major Cassius Cartwright, Wilkinson's attempt might have succeeded.
