The Ford of Red Hanrahan is a short story about one of the key moments of the history of Pern - the foundation of the second Hold.

Years after the colony secured refuge in «Fort Hold» by expanding a cavern system on the Northern Continent, venerable animal husbandman Red Hanrahan leads the establishment of a second hold, a few days north in the same mountain range. The migrating people and livestock face the dangerous crossing of a rising river at «Red's Ford», which gives its name to the second city, as it were: Rua Atha (Irish Gaelic), later Ruatha Hold.
