In far-away England was a doughty youth, John Smith, who dreamed of battle and adventure. Though but a boy, he had already fought as a soldier in the wars of France, and later in Flanders.
And these two, the wild little Indian girl and the warrior boy, now so far apart, in time were to meet and become great friends.
At home again in Lincolnshire after dangerous travels, the youth still longed for the strife and glory of the fray.
He retired to a quiet spot in the wood, and lived in a camp of his own making, where he read tales of war and knights-errant, and in his enthusiasm fought imaginary enemies. At last he could bear dreaming no longer, and started off again to roam the world in search of adventure.
