The settlement bore the name of Martinsville,\u003cbr\u003ein honor of the leader of the little party of pioneers who had left\u003cbr\u003eKentucky some months before, and, crossing the Mississippi, located in\u003cbr\u003ethat portion of the vast territory known at that time as Louisiana.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere were precisely twenty cabins, all of which had been constructed\u003cbr\u003ewith a view to rugged strength, durability, and comfort. Lusty arms had\u003cbr\u003efelled the trees, that were cut the proper length and dovetailed in the\u003cbr\u003eusual manner at the corners, the crevices being filled with a species of\u003cbr\u003eplaster, made almost entirely from yellow clay. The interiors were\u003cbr\u003egenerally divided into two apartments, with a broad fireplace and the\u003cbr\u003erude furniture of the border. Colonel Martin himself, with the\u003cbr\u003eassistance of his two full-grown sons, erected a more pretentious\u003cbr\u003edwelling with two stories and a loft, but the other houses, as has\u003cbr\u003ealready been stated, were of such a simple and familiar character that\u003cbr\u003ethe American reader needs no further description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs. Carleton was a widow, whose husband had been slain by Indians in\u003cbr\u003eKentucky some time previous, and who, in the daily requirement of her\u003cbr\u003eduties, and in her great love for her only child, Jack, found some\u003cbr\u003erelief from the dreadful sorrow that overshadowed her life. Kind\u003cbr\u003eneighbors had lent willing hands, and her home was as well made as any\u003cbr\u003ein the settlement. Jack and his companion, Otto Relstaub, had arrived\u003cbr\u003eonly a couple of days before, and each had wrought so hard in his\u003cbr\u003erespective household that they had scarcely found time to speak to or\u003cbr\u003esee each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe evening meal had been eaten, the things cleared away, and wood\u003cbr\u003eheaped upon the fire which filled the little room with cheerful\u003cbr\u003eillumination. The mother was seated at one side, the silent\u003cbr\u003espinning-wheel just beyond, while her deft fingers were busy with her\u003cbr\u003eknitting. Jack was half reclining on a rude bench opposite, recounting,\u003cbr\u003ein his boyish fashion, the adventures of himself and Otto on their\u003cbr\u003ememorable journey, which has been fully told in the \"Lost Trail.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe good mother possessed an education beyond the ordinary, and, knowing\u003cbr\u003eits great value, insisted upon her son improving his spare moments in\u003cbr\u003estudy. Jack was well informed for his years, for no one could have been\u003cbr\u003eblessed with a better teacher, counselor, and friend, than he was. Even\u003cbr\u003enow, when we reintroduce him to the reader, he held an old-fashioned\u003cbr\u003espelling-book in his hand. He had tried to give his attention to his\u003cbr\u003elesson, but, boy-like, his mind persisted in wandering, and his mother,\u003cbr\u003elooking fondly across the fire, was so pleased to hear him chat and to\u003cbr\u003eask and answer questions, that she could not find it in her heart to\u003cbr\u003echide him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"You have never seen Deerfoot, have you, mother?\" he asked, abruptly\u003cbr\u003ebreaking in on his own narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, I have seen him; he saved the life of your father.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178528293104,"sku":"2940013289161","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013289161_p0.jpg?v=1763590588","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013289161","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
