The Cabin Ambush After Black Hawk War Raid
A tense winter night retreat from pursuing Indians ends at a deserted cabin. Blaine, Eloise, Tim, Kirby, and a boy shelter inside as bands of mounted attackers close in, a hidden cellar stores weapons, and loyalty tests rise when a wounded Kirby seeks shelter. The narrator weighs mercy against vengeance while danger mounts outside.
