Written at the suggestion of a Boston librarian who found few books for young readers about the pioneers of the Northwest, this story centres on a log school on the Columbia River. A young schoolmaster wins the devotion of an Indian boy, while settlers face a mountain lion, a tame bear and a fishing eagle’s nest, and the legend of a grieving chief hangs over the valley.
A period frontier story for young readers, with the attitudes of its day toward Native peoples. Download the free EPUB.
