About This Book

This narrative follows frontier characters—Glenn, his servant Joe, and companions—through episodic adventures in the western wilderness, including bear, buffalo, and wolf hunts, fishing, and encounters with serpents and panthers. It recounts ambushes and captures by Indigenous raiding parties, desperate defenses and rescues, and a dreamlike visit to a haunted island. Scenes emphasize practical bushcraft, camaraderie, and the dangers of untamed country, mixing suspenseful pursuit and narrow escapes with quieter moments of domestic life and revelations about personal origins and local history.
