Our story had its beginning in a small town in Indiana. In his richly appointed office, Andrew Lockwood relaxed and smiled a friendly greeting at the young man who stood in the doorway. Andrew Lockwood called John Chapman into his office, but the discussion wasn't to be a friendly one. He wants John to change his plans to go west, along with Andrew's daughter, Amy. But Amy has a say in all of this too, and chooses to marry the man she loves.
