Who knows what it is to depend on the food to be found there? The terrors of a prairie fire? What it is to see Indians in full war paint filling one's doorway? Who can understand the feelings of fifty women and children left unprotected beyond reach of civilization while their men fought off Confederate raiders and died where they fell without medical care? A visit to paris, described at the book's close, provides contrast and we lose sight of la petite savage as she presses her eye to a knothole of the boarding around the Tuileries to catch a glimpse of hte Prince Imperial at play."--Jacket flap.
