Summary:

As the finale opens, Tasmin and her family are under irksome, though comfortable, arrest in Mexican Sante Fe. As the Berrybenders adapt to life in Sante Fe, Tasmin's husband Jim Snow, accompanied by Kit Carson, journeys to New Orleans, where he meets one of Lord Berrybender's many illegitimate children. But they are unable to prevent the Mexicans from carrying the Berrybender family on the terrible "Dead Man's Walk" across the desert to Vera Cruz. The Berrybenders finally make their way to civilization, where Jim Snow has to choose between Tasmin and the freedom of the American plains...and where Tasmin must finally decide where her future lies.
