The German lad Otto Relstaub, having lost his horse,\u003cbr\u003ewhile on the way from Kentucky to the territory of Louisiana (their\u003cbr\u003edestination being a part of the present State of Missouri), he and his\u003cbr\u003eyoung friend, Jack Carleton, set out to hunt for the missing animal.\u003cbr\u003eNaturally enough they failed: not only that, but the two fell into the\u003cbr\u003ehands of a band of wandering Sauk Indians, who held them prisoners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirectly after the capture of the lads, their captors parted company,\u003cbr\u003efive going in one direction with Jack and the other five taking a\u003cbr\u003edifferent course with Otto. \"Camp-Fire and Wigwam\" gave the particulars\u003cbr\u003eof what befell Jack Carleton. In this story, I propose to tell all about\u003cbr\u003ethe hunt that was made for the honest lad, who had few friends, and who\u003cbr\u003ehad been driven from his own home by the cruelty of his parents to\u003cbr\u003eengage in a search which would have been laughable in its absurdity, but\u003cbr\u003efor the danger that marked it from the beginning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe youth, however, had three devoted friends in Jack Carleton, his\u003cbr\u003emother, and Deerfoot, the Shawanoe. But for the compassion which the\u003cbr\u003egood woman felt for the lad, she never would have consented that her\u003cbr\u003ebeloved son should enter the wilderness for the purpose of bringing him\u003cbr\u003ehome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne fact must be borne in mind, however, in recalling the two\u003cbr\u003eexpeditions. In the former Jack and Otto were the actors, but now the\u003cbr\u003ehunters were Jack and Deerfoot, and therein lay all the difference in the\u003cbr\u003eworld. Well aware of the wonderful woodcraft of the young warrior, his\u003cbr\u003ecourage and devotion to his friends, the parent had little if any\u003cbr\u003emisgivings, when she kissed her boy good-by, and saw him enter the\u003cbr\u003ewilderness in the company of the dusky Shawanoe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomething like a fortnight had gone by, when Deerfoot and Jack Carleton\u003cbr\u003esat near a camp-fire which had been kindled in the depths of the forest,\u003cbr\u003ewell to the westward of the little frontier settlement of Martinsville.\u003cbr\u003eThe air was crisp and cool, and two days had passed since any rain had\u003cbr\u003efallen, so the climate could not have been more favorable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camp was similar to many that have been described before, and with\u003cbr\u003ewhich the reader has become familiar long ago. It was simply a small\u003cbr\u003epile of blazing sticks, started close to a large tree, with a little\u003cbr\u003estream of water winding just beyond. More wood was heaped near, and Jack\u003cbr\u003ewas lolling lazily on the blanket which he had brought with him, while\u003cbr\u003ehis friend sat on the pile of sticks opposite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Deerfoot, you remember I told you that while I was in the lodge of\u003cbr\u003eOgallah, an Indian came in who was one of the five that had taken Otto\u003cbr\u003eaway?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shawanoe nodded his head to signify he recalled the incident.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"He made some of the queerest","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147469930736,"sku":"2940013290501","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013290501_p0.jpg?v=1763590613","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013290501","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
