Based on the medieval legend of Prince Madoc, son of a 12th-century Welsh king, who, along with 10 boats of his followers, sailed to America—300 years before Columbus. Madoc plants a colony in the Ohio River Valley and confronts and then blends with Native Americans, forming a tribe of Welsh “White Indians.”
