First published in 1851, this novel tells a large part of the early history of the differences between the eastern settlers and the American Indian and the clashes of difference between what it thought to be right or wrong at that time. Described as gritty and often brutal, it is the tale of Haller, who meets up with the mysterious Seguin after picking up with some prairie merchants. He instantly falls in love with Seguin's daughter Zoe. The innocent romance progresses to the point that he wishes to ask for her hand in marriage but Seguin will only permit it if Haller helps him to rescue his other daughter Adele from the Navajo Indians who abducted her when just a child. Not only are the Indians hostile - the adventurers must also battle the elements, hunger, thirst and wild animals.
