The story opens at a Hudson Bay trading post, where the father of a sturdy Scotch lad, Steve McLean, is in charge. Wishing a home of their own, Steve and his father, with a faithful Indian as guide, make a five-hundred-mile canoe trip to Red River, and join in one of great historic buffalo hunts, after which they make a thrilling escape from the hostile Blackfeet Indians. Then comes a most adventurous trip down the Arkansas River to the Mississippi and thence to St. Louis, where the story closes happily. It gives a stirring, accurate and fascinating account of pioneer life as the hardy men and boys of earlier days knew it.
“Mr. Lange’s volume gives a faithful account of early pioneer days and hardships, introducing much valuable knowledge of Indian craft and wild life.”—_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
