Mercy! shrieked little Francette, her red-rose face aghast, "he
will begin before I can bring the help!" Like a flash of flame the
maid in her crimson skirt shot up the main way of Fort de Seviere
to where the factory lay asleep in the warm spring sun. On its log
step, pipe in mouth, young Anders McElroy leaned against the jamb
and looked smilingly out upon his settlement. Peace lay softly upon
it, from the waters of the small stream to the east where nine
canoes lay bottom up upon the pebbly shore, to the great dark wall
of the forest shouldering near on three sides. To him ran little
Francette, light on her moccasined feet as the wind in the tender
pine-tops, her eloquent small hands outstretched and clutching at
his sleeve audaciously.
Tharon, the beautiful and spirited daughter of rancher Jim Last,
rides and shoots like a man, but is desired by all the men of the
idyllic Lost Valley, including the local top man, bully and cattle
rustler, Buck Courtrey. After her father's murder, Tharon takes the
law into her own hands, organising the local settlers to fight back
against Courtrey's thugs; but the arrival of a stranger from the US
Forest Service could change everything... This carefully
hand-edited version of Vingie E. Roe's Western classic includes all

Picturesque they were, in their fringed buckskin cunningly tanned
and beaded, their feathers and their ornaments of elk teeth and
claws of the huge, thick-coated bears. At day-dawn they came,
having camped for the night a short distance above the fort, to the
letter display of their arrival, and they swept down in a flotilla
of graceful craft made of the birch bark and light as clouds upon
the water.
