"The Redskins had dug up the hatchet - the Miami and Shawnee tribes were attacking the white settlers, and we in our lonely cabin were in deadly peril..."
(to 17.30)

About the time when Nelson won the battle of Trafalgar, white settlers in America were steadily driving the Red Indians westward from their hunting grounds. To the Ohio wilderness came Silas Sutherland with his wife and daughter, and there, with his axe and his two hands, he built their log cabin home - fort as well as house, for it stood alone, fifty miles from the nearest blockhouse, fifty miles from help of any kind.

This was the country of the Shawnee and Miami tribes. Sometimes they were at peace with the white man, sometimes they dug up the hatchet - or, as we should say, declared war. Then all along the frontier the settlers' cabins went up in flames, and men, women, and children lost their lives.

When news of a Red Indian rising came, the settlers in their lonely cabins had a hard choice. They could barricade their doors, block up their narrow windows, and fight it out. Or, if they were warned in time by the white scouts and frontiersmen, always on the move through the forest, they could take refuge in the nearest blockhouse and shelter behind the stout walls and the rifles of the soldiers. But if they did they left behind to certain destruction the home they had built and the crops they had raised with so much toil.

In his cabin in the clearing Silas Sutherland was faced with just such a choice. What happened to him and his family, to the young frontiersman, Brayton Ripley, who brought them warning, and to Mul-keep-mo, the Rattlesnake, the Indian warrior who befriended them, will be told in this serial which is meant for the older children.
