From the back cover:

 

"Don't let them take you ALIVE!"

 

In the menacing lull before battle, Captain MacLaw handed his pistol to the girl he loved. "There are six cartridges," he said. "Save one for yourself." Martha said nothing, but she understood. The attack was coming soon. A horde of Indians were poised to attack the wagon train, intent on killing the settlers and ravishing their women. Only the captain's troop of cavalry stood between the convoy and disaster. Martha knew that MacLaw and his men would fight until they died. If they failed to stop the blood-thirsty savages, she would fight, too, and then die by her own steady hand.
