With Boone on the Frontier by Edward Stratemeyer

Daniel Boone showed his years of wilderness training when he did not at once raise a shout and rush in to the rescue of his daughter and the other girl captives of the Indians.

"I saw that two of the Indians over the fire had their hunting knives in their hands," he said afterward, in telling of the situation. "They were merciless wretches, and at the first sign of peril would have turned and laid the girls low at their feet, or else carried them off on their backs as shields from our bullets."
