Excerpt from The Yamhills: An Indian Romance The mother, like most mothers, had borne the burden of the little family, and permit ted the daughters to live the free outdoor life they loved. They became expert with the bow and arrow, and often took long tramps in hunting and fishing. The young warriors had come into their lives so abruptly and had disappeared so suddenly, that they were bewildered. They looked at the arrows with wondering interest. They were love tokens. They tried them with their hands, then tried to place them in their light hunting bows, but they were far too heavy. They hurried home to show them to their mother.
