My Side of the Mountain Summary Chapters 7-9 Pages 41-54 In the chapter “The King’s Provider” Sam learns about Peregrine Falcons and needed one badly. Then he takes a risk climbing a dangerous cliff to snatch Frightful, the falcon. Sam did this because he needed a bird to catch him food. When Sam was coming home he finds a fire warden near his campsite! Sam wanted to go back to his campsite but he did not want to be caught and sent back to his original home. In the next chapter “What I Did about the First Man Who Was after Me” Sam took care of Frightful and admired her very much. He learned to season his food with garlic and jack-in-the-pulpits, and he finds out that the fire warden was at his campsite because some people spotted smoke in the mountains. In the chapter “I Learn to Season My Food” Sam finds himself a new friend. That friend was the Baron Weasel. They both had a funny but wonderful relationship. Soon Sam plans to catch a deer. He was going to make leashes, jesses, clothes, a door, and a blanket out of the deerskin. Also he learns how to make salt from hickory trees.
