The frontier fort, or, Stirring times in the north west territory of British America

A Hudson's Bay Company outpost in western Canada during the mid 1800's (presumably) is the subject of several attacks by a hostile tribe of Native American Indians who are bent on capturing the fort, killing its chief factor, and kidnapping the factor's lovely daughter. This story portrays many acts of stoicism, bravery, and sheer nerve and grit by the fort's hopelessly outnumbered inhabitants, who try desperately to stay alive and hopeful in the face of almost constant peril.
