The grown-ups' talk turns again to the Indians, especially the Comanches, who are constantly raiding the white settlements, stealing their horses, ruining their fields, sometimes killing the settlers. That was why the family had built this fort.

An enormous gate was made especially to keep the Indians out, put together without nails, made of wooden slabs so thick no bullet, no arrow shot from a powerful bow, could penetrate. Two blockhouses were erected at opposite corners of the compound where the men would go with their rifles in case of an attack. The surrounding stockade is made of logs twice as tall as any man, pointed at the top to keep Indians from climbing over.
