Plains Adventure and a Missing Lady Tale
The narrator recounts a hunter's pursuit after a carriage robbery and a missing woman driven from a spring along the Platte divide. He traces tracks across gulches and washes, finding prints of her shoes and knee prints, then follows a buffalo trail to converge near the American Ranch, detailing frontier life, Indians, and prairie fauna along the way.
