The novel is a thrilling adventure story that will captivate readers of all ages with its vivid descriptions of the natural world, its exciting plot twists, and its memorable characters.Lest any reader should wonder where our heroine found materials for all the mending and repairing referred to, we may remark that the Indians in the wilderness were, and still are, supplied with needles, beads, cloth, powder and shot, guns, axes, and etc., by the adventurous fur-traders, who penetrate deep and far into the wilderness of North America; and when Nelly and Roy ran away from their captors they took care to carry with them an ample supply of such things as they might require in their flight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
