Who is Firehair?

Origin Lynn Cabot accompanied her father westward from Boston. The widowed man and his red-haired daughter arrived by stage in the town of Plainsville to start out on a new life. That story never mentioned the names of the pair, with her father simply referring to his daughter as "Princess." But as he bought supplies and joined a train of wagons heading out, a scoundrel named Fingers was up to no good. Fingers used a band of outlaws disguised as indians to ambush, rob and massacre the wagon train. Her father slain, the young woman who would become Firehair was injured and left for dead. But a witness to the attack was a genuine indian, Little Ax, who went over the victims and found the young woman was still barely alive. He thought she would be able to testify that it was not his tribe who attacked the wagons, so he took her back to his tribe and his father, their chief. Two Horns, the medicine man of the tribe thought Little Ax was a fool for bringing her there.
