About this book
A book by Henry W. Shoemaker has an index listing, among others, At His Bedside, The Prostrate Juniper, The Holly Tree and Black Chief's Daughter. Christian Trubee had always been interested in the redmen, and is there to study the manners and customs of the last of the Senecas in order to write his doctor's thesis at the University. Simon Black Chief is described as a handsome Indian youth who picked up a living as a mountebank among the frequenters of the ancient hostelry.
One character is described as below the middle height but so lithe and erect that her figure fully compensated for the lack of inches, and as wearing a blue homespun dress with a neat checked apron over it. The text says the Elma Hacker of those days had a sweetheart who lived alone on the other side of the Gap, named Ammon Quicksall, and that from all accounts he was a fine, manly fellow, a great hunter and fighter.
