The story is set against the backdrop of the American West and features characters caught in the struggles between white settlers and Native American tribes, primarily the Blackfeet. The narrative begins with a chaotic attack on a group of trappers led by Captain Benning, during which Flora Robinette, the daughter of a fur trader, is kidnapped. This event sets off a chain of daring rescues, conflicts, and personal dilemmas as the main characters navigate the dangers of the wilderness and their own relationships. The opening of the book introduces the dire circumstances surrounding Captain Benning and his party, who are attacked at their camp and suffer losses to the Blackfeet. Amid the chaos, Flora Robinette goes missing, and her father is killed. The narrative presents various characters, including the young and passionate trapper George Benning, who is determined to rescue Flora, as well as the mysterious Fred Wilder, who appears to have his own agenda amidst the turmoil. The tension is heightened by the setting of the untamed frontier, the challenge of survival against the odds, and the intrigue of human relationships shaped by danger and desperation. The beginning effectively establishes the stakes and conflicts that are likely to evolve as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 79.8 (7th grade).
