In 1852, a group of 12 men from the western part of Wapaka County, Wisconsin, are traveling through swamps to reach Mukwah for the first official vote for county officers. The county is newly apportioned and consists of settler towns separated by thickets, windfalls, and swamps. The men must hurry to arrive on time for the vote. The year is 1852. The newly apportioned county of Wapaka, Wisconsin is little more than a collection of settler towns separated by miles of thickets, windfalls, and swamps.

Their destination is Mukwah, where the first official vote for county officers is to be held. They'll have to hurry if they want to make it on time.
