He eventually comes upon the local tavern, where he sees Milly chopping wood.

After being convinced of her worth by the quality of her cooking and her insistence on finishing her chores before she would leave with him, he proposes and she accepts despite knowing him for only a few hours.

When they arrive at his cabin in the mountains, Milly is surprised to learn that Adam is the eldest of seven brothers living under the same roof.

The brothers have been given Bible names alphabetically: Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank (short for frankincense supposedly due to no Bible names beginning with F and their mother thought he smelled sweet), and Gideon.

All of the brothers have red hair, and all but Gideon are well over six feet tall.

Milly is also shocked at how dirty their house is, along with how unkempt and uncouth Adam and his brothers are.

Later that night, Milly is angry and tells Adam that he wanted a servant girl instead of a wife.

Adam acknowledges he needed her to be able to work because living in the backwoods is a hard life.

After he plans to spend the night sleeping in a tree outside their window so that he wont lose face with his brothers, she relents after explaining she was upset because she had had high hopes of marriage and love.

After the brothers wash and shave, Milly is shocked at how handsome they are, and that none of them got married.

At first, the brothers have a hard time changing from their mountain man ways, but eventually come to see their only chance to get brides of their own is to do things Millys way.

They try out their new manners at a social gathering in the town (a dance and barn-raising), where they meet six women they like Dorcas, Ruth, Martha, Liza, Sarah, and Alice.

However, all of them already have suitors among the young men of the town, who taunt the brothers into fighting during the barn-raising.

At first, the six brothers remember Millys teachings and try to resist being drawn into a fight.

The suitors finally go too far when they attack Adam, provoking Gideon into fighting back.

A brawl ensues in which the brothers dominate their physically weaker town rivals.
