“As a result of an Indian raid, with its trail of smoking ruins and scalped and tortured victims, only two human beings were found alive by the rescue party in the whole devastated settlement—a white girl baby and an Indian boy, scarcely older or larger. These two waifs are taken in charge by Colonel Bill Lander, the cattle king, and brought up together with the same impartial care that he would have bestowed upon children of his own.” (Bookm.) The story mainly concerns these two, their ill-assorted union, and an inevitable tragedy.
“A book that needs no borrowed glory to bolster it into notice, a book which may well stand on its own merits, both for novelty of situation and keen picturing of character.” Frederic Taber Cooper.
