Life on the frontier is difficult, and there is a constant danger from Black Hawk and his warriors, but Sadie and her father try to live in harmony with everyone. Excerpt: «And I promise to be your wife if we both live. Oh, God, forgive me if I do wrong in this, but I can not see these brave men sacrificed, who have come into this deadly peril for my sake. William Jackwood, understand me fully and do not say in the after times that I deceived you. I hate you—I shall always hate you—but I will be your wife.» Based on the text, Black Will also known as William Jackwood, will do anything to marry Sadie. Will Sadie end up loving him?
