I will go to my father. He is somewhere across the mountains. I will find him.
With this resolution Pale Eyes left his mother, his home with the Crow Indians, and all that was familiar to begin a search for a white father whom he had not seen for six years.
He took the name his father had given him, Hardy Hollingshead. But the new name did not lessen his surprise when at last he reached Oregon City. He had never seen things like lumber, glass and chairs before and even the language of the Oregon Indians was unfamiliar to him. Most puzzling of all, perhaps, was the attitude the white settlers had toward him.
Increasing patience and maturity are the tools Hardy has to develop to overcome this and to deal with the biggest problem of all -- his deep but understandable disappointment in his father.
