The time is the 1870s, when survival means a battle against the elements, as well as renegade Indians and outlaws. Story Background: In the early 1870s, a man named John Cannon comes to the Arizona Territory with his wife, Annalee, his twenty-year-old son, Billy Blue, his brother, Buck, and a dream to establish a cattle empire in this harsh, untamed land. But unlike other settlers of his time, John dreams of building a life of peace and prosperity in cooperation with the native Apache. He has his work cut out for him, for his brother has a weakness for carousing in the nearest salon, his relationship with his son is fraught with all the difficulties that are common between fathers and sons, and his wife, although loving and supportive, is terrified of the ferocity she sees around her. Few days after arriving at their new home, the Army warns them off, Apache attacks, and John finds that he has an enemy neighbor to the south, in Mexico, named Don Sebastian Montoya - who claims High Chaparral land as his own. As John, along with his brother and his newly hired ranch hands, struggles to gain a foothold on the ground, Annalee is killed in a raid, and John is forced into an arranged marriage with Don Sebastian's daughter, Victoria Montoya, as the price of peace with this adversary. He acquires a new brother-in-law, as well as, Manolito Montoya, who comes in first place as protects, but continues to establish High Chaparral. His son, Billy Blue, still grief-stricken over the death of his mother, is shocked by his father's hasty re-marriage and rebels, leaving the ranch for a time until his uncle Buck brings him back. Faced with such obstacles, any other man would pack his bags and return in defeat from where he came. But John Cannon is no other man, and in fact, the guns, with their new ally and family, montoyas, are not ordinary people. They are determined to cut a home from the land they have claimed, and nothing less than death will stop them. They are the ones who settled in the West. That's their story.
