(3) 4-6 Jane Peck transforms herself from a hoyden to a refined young lady, then follows her fiancé to the Oregon frontier, where conditions are more primitive than she expects. Predictably, "Boston Jane" sheds her useless refinements and adapts to frontier life with the help of the Chinook tribe members, but she is an endearing heroine. Readers who enjoyed Charlotte Doyle will forgive the uneven telling and enter into Boston Jane's predicament.
