"The Adventure of Old Sun's Wife" by Frederic Remington (Harper's Mag., Dec., 1891)
When a mere maid, she was kidnapped by the chief of the Gros Ventres Indians. Binding her securely to himself, he rode off for his own village. When within sight of their destination the girl stabbed him, killing him. This feat not only won her the right to wear three eagle feathers, but Old Sun, the rich and powerful chief of the North Blackfeet Indians of Canada, made her his wife.
