Well, to shorten the story, Deerfoot was in love, and his journeys were made with the purpose of wooing the dusky maiden who had already taken his heart captive. I am sorry to confess that with all the pains that I have used, I have never been able to get any par ticulars about the wife Of this extraordinary young Shawanoe warrior. That She was a member of another tribe was unquestionable, since the Shawanoes at that time lived east of the Mississippi, while her home was many miles westward of the Father of Waters.
