Tucket can't believe he has actually gotten the rifle he wanted for his
birthday. The wagon train stops for a rest and Francis goes off to practice
his shooting. Taken by surprise, Francis is captured by Pawnee Indians.
He tries to escape but is not successful. Eventually, a trapper names Jason
Grimes convinces the Pawnee to release Francis. Francis stays with Grimes
and learns the way of the woodsman. Will he ever get back to his family? |
