Adventures of Jack Dobell Continues in Broken Prairie Escape

The narrative follows Jack Dobell as he avoids Mexican soldiers near a house, evades discovery in dense brake, camps in a cane strip, and encounters bears and riding Indians. He plans a cautious retreat with Scout, surveys wagon trails, and contemplates the fate of Old Caney while gathering provisions for a long road ahead.

Fire on the Prairie Drives Man to Fight Fire with Fire

The narrator describes a dense cane and timber region swarming with bears and roving bands of Mexicans and Indians. When a prairie fire approaches, he lights a counter fire to create a firebreak and escapes as flame and smoke sweep past, while wildlife flees and vultures circle above.
