Matt is a little apprehensive when his father leaves him alone to guard their newly built cabin in the wilderness.

And in getting to know his friend, Matt also begins to understand the heritage and way of life of the Beaver clan.
Summary

When a renegade white stranger steals his gun, Matt realizes he has no way to shoot game or to protect himself When Matt meets Attean, a boy in the Beaver clan, he begins to better understand their way of life and their growing problem in adapting to the white man and the changing frontier.
