In 1812, Ohio was the frontier where settlers were trying to establish homesteads. The settlers were frightened of the Indians and determined to keep the “heathens” away. When a trapper is murdered, the men of the village capture an Indian and chain him in the attic of Rebecca’s house.Rebecca and her older sister are expected to take care of Amik.At first, Rebecca is anxious but she soon starts to like him and exchanges small gifts with him.Rebecca comes up with a plan to free Amik before he is hung, but the ending is even more spectacular than she had planned.(New Hampshire Great Stone Face 2007)
