The Henshaw family moved to the wild country of Desoto County, Mississippi with the departure of the Chickasaws in 1836. They farmed the rich land, hunted the rivers and streams, and struggled against slave robbers and outlaws. They were aided by their fast friend Push-pun-tubby, a member of the Chickasaw nation who remained behind after the migration of his people to Oklahoma. Hern fell in love with the beautiful daughter of a neieghboring family. They had a beautiful courtship before they were seperated by circumstances they failed to control--(from back jacket). Much of the action is fiction but the places are factual (--from Author note).
