During the first season, Capt. Ross Poldark stunned his relatives and neighbors by returning late, but alive from fighting in the American War of Independence (aka The Revolutionary War). His father was dead, his affairs and finances in disarray. Meanwhile, Poldark’s uncle and cousin, Charles and Francis Poldark, were running a prosperous mining operation; unscrupulous George Warleggan had a rival operation; and Elizabeth, Poldark’s first love, had caught the eye of both Francis and George. Poldark married Demelza, a miner’s daughter.<\/p>\n
