Publisher's Synopsis
Directly after the capture of the lads, their captors parted company, five going in one direction with Jack and the other five taking a different course with Otto. -Camp-Fire and Wigwam- gave the particulars of what befell Jack Carleton. In this story, I propose to tell all about the hunt that was made for the honest lad, who had few friends, and who had been driven from his own home by the cruelty of his parents to engage in a search which would have been laughable in its absurdity, but for the danger that marked it from the beginning. The youth, however, had three devoted friends in Jack Carleton, his mother, and Deerfoot, the Shawanoe.
