Set against the backdrop of the Samoan Civil War, this historical work explores the complex political landscape of Samoa during the late 19th century. Stevenson, who arrived in 1889, became deeply engaged in the conflict among America, Germany, and Britain, while also supporting the indigenous efforts to maintain their traditional governance. His firsthand experiences led him to participate in skirmishes alongside the Samoans, providing a unique perspective on the turmoil and colonial struggles of the era.
