| Summary | "A Backwoods Princess" by Hulbert Footner is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the rugged Northwest Territories, it follows the life of Loseis Blackburn, the daughter of a free trader, who must navigate the tumultuous landscape of loss, love, and cultural conflict after her father's sudden death. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Loseis and her surroundings at Blackburn's Post as she grapples with the recent loss of her father. Confined to the Women’s House with her Indian handmaidens due to rain, Loseis is depicted as a strong-willed and spirited young woman, adorned in a bearskin and pearls, reflecting her mixed heritage and the wilderness of her environment. The sudden arrival of news concerning her father's death disrupts the fragile peace of their lives, thrusting her into a position of responsibility for the Post, where tensions simmer between her and the local Slavi tribe. As Loseis confronts the challenges ahead, her complex emotions, including tension with her potential rival, the trader Gault, and feelings for the geologist Conacher, shape a compelling narrative of resilience and determination in a harsh landscape.
