The story unfolds on the American frontier and centers around Alfred Haverland, a woodman who lives in a remote area of western New York with his wife and daughter, Ina. As tensions rise with local Native American tribes following the Revolutionary War, the narrative explores themes of survival, danger, and family amidst a backdrop of wilderness and conflict. The opening of the book introduces us to Alfred Haverland, a hardworking and strong man, as he is engaged in logging in the depths of the forest when he encounters a newcomer, Seth Jones, who presents himself as an eccentric fellow from New Hampshire. The two quickly form a friendship, but Haverland's sense of security is shaken when Jones warns him about the rising threat of hostile Indians, suggesting that they might target his family. As Haverland and Jones navigate their growing concerns, it becomes evident that danger is imminent, leading to the potential abduction of Haverland's daughter. This suspenseful setup establishes a gripping premise as the characters are thrust into peril, driving the story forward with tension and urgency. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
