Logan never felt fear; he could not turn upon his heel to save his life.

Who is there to mourn for Logan?
Not one." The war between the Indians and the pioneers was waged for years.
The settlers pushed farther and farther into the wilderness.

The Indians, who at first sought only to save their farms and their stock, now fought for revenge.

That is why every ambitious pioneer who went out upon those borders carried his life in his hands; why there was always the danger of being shot or tomahawked from behind every tree; why wife and children were constantly in fear of the terrible enemy.
To creep unawares upon a foe and strike him in the dark was Indian warfare; to an Indian it was not dishonorable; it was not cowardly.
He was taught to hide in the long grass like a snake, to shoot from coverts, to worm his way stealthily through the dense woods and to ambush the paleface's trail.

Horrible cruelties, such as torturing white prisoners and burning them at the stake were never heard of before the war made upon the Indians by the whites.
Comparatively little is known of the real character of the Indian of that time.
