ENGL 330 Spring 2018's Thoughts: "This novel takes place in St. Louis, where the reader is introduced to Old Blaze: a hunter who has traveled far to see Silverspur. Silverspur tells the hunter that he is searching for Dove-eye, a young girl, and invites him to join him on his journey. While searching for the girl, another hunter, Fred Wilder, is introduced. Blaze and Fred discover that their horses have disappeared, and while trying to recover them, Blaze is wounded. We then meet Dove-eye, who is now referred to as Kate. She marries Fred, although everyone knows that Fred only agrees to marry her because she is heiress to a fortune. Kate is treated poorly because many think she is of Indian descent, even though, on multiple occasions, she helps the hunters and their members, even at one point saving their lives. Kate is eventually brought to her younger sister, Flora, and it is revealed that Kate has "white blood running through her veins.""--Jacquelin Marrero, undergraduate student at NIU enrolled in ENGL 330, Spring 2018
