The one boy is an American Indian of the Powhatan Tribe of the Assateague and Chincoteague Islands of Virginia and Maryland during the late AD 1500 era. The one pony is one of the earliest arrivals on those islands. The two girls are Powhatan maidens who have captured the attention of the boy. After a series of trials and tribulations experienced during seven or eight years by the boy, the pony, and the two girls, all ends well.
