The second novel in Sheba Hargreaves' beloved and acclaimed Oregon Pioneer Trilogy, back in print for the first time in over 70 years.
Jim Faxon, a Bostonian trader and botanist, searches the wild, untamed Oregon frontier for Multnomah, a mysterious "white squaw" rumored to have been taken and raised by an isolated Indian tribe years earlier. His long and rigorous quest, through the secret passage over Neah-Kah-Nie peak, and down the rough Tillamook coast, and eastward again through the mountains to the "lake in the crater," is frought with danger, struggle and violence and leads to a shocking discovery.
