Summary: "The Price of the Prairie: A Story of Kansas" by Margaret Hill McCarter is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the Kansas prairies during the time of early settlers, focusing on the life of Philip Baronet as he navigates the challenges and relationships of frontier life. Central to the narrative are themes of love, bravery, and the struggles of pioneering, particularly highlighted through Philip's connection to Marjie Whately and his interactions with the Osage Indian, Jean Pahusca. At the start of the book, the narrator, an older Philip Baronet, reflects on his deep connection to the Kansas prairie, blending memories of beauty and brutality. As a child, he shares experiences with his friends, particularly Marjie Whately and the impetuous O'mie. The scene escalates when a drunken Indian, Jean Pahusca, endangers Marjie, triggering a protective instinct in Philip and his friends. The opening chapters establish a rich backdrop of frontier life in Springvale, emphasizing the bonds formed among the youth and the perils they face on the unruly frontier, all while foreshadowing deeper conflicts related to identity and societal change.
