What Is The Saga of Windwagon Smith About?

The premise of The Saga of Windwagon Smith without spoilers.

Sea Captain Windwagon Smith arrives in Westport, Kansas, the gateway to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, and is mocked for planning to cross the prairie in a sail‑equipped Contestoga wagon rather than an ox‑drawn covered wagon. He wins over the town mayor, falls for the mayor’s daughter Molly Crum, and secures financial backing from the townspeople. With Molly hidden in the wagon, he sets sail toward Oregon, hoping the prairie winds will carry them, even as a Kansas tornado gathers on the horizon.
