(Mary Katherine) 1861 Maule, Mary Katherine Cue, Harold James 1887 1961 A Prairie-Schooner Princess Produced by Al Haines "A Prairie-Schooner Princess" by Mary K. Maule is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the Peniman family, who embark on an arduous journey across the plains to the Nebraska Territory, navigating challenges both environmental and human as they seek a new home. Their tale intertwines with a fateful encounter when they assist a beleaguered woman and her family, setting the stage for themes of survival, family, and the historical conflicts of the time. The opening of the book introduces the Peniman family during their pioneer journey in 1856, highlighting the young boy Joe's anxious observation of an approaching dust cloud. As the family prepares for potential danger, they encounter a woman driving a runaway wagon, who urgently cries for help. Upon reaching them, they discover the woman's husband has been grievously wounded by an arrow, possibly in an Indian attack. The narrative establishes a tone of impending peril from both the wilderness and human threats, foreshadowing the trials the family will face as they proceed along their westward journey.
