Ouvem-se Tambores ao Longe
10/11/1939
Albany, Nova York, 1776. Magdelana Borst e Gilbert Martin casam-se e vão para o Vale do Mohawk, no norte. Devido aos constantes ataques dos índios fogem, juntamente com outros colonos do vale, para um forte próximo, de onde assistem aos índios a devastarem as suas quintas e cabanas. Sarah McKlennar, uma solteirona com uma grande quinta, vai ajudá-los e contrata Gilbert para trabalhar no campo, dando aos Martin um lugar para ficar. A vida dura da quinta não é boa para Lana, que foi criada na riqueza e em circustâncias favoráveis. Com o tempo ela começa a amar a nova vida no Vale de Mohawk, especialmente depois de dar à luz o primeiro filho. Gilbert une-se à milícia que precisa lutar contra as tribos índias locais, com os soldados britânicos incitando-os para a batalha. Gilbert volta ferido e, enquanto se recupera, há uma grande colheita nos campos. Porém a alegria dura pouco, pois os índios mais uma vez invadem os colonos.
