In the rugged wilderness of the American frontier, a young Shawnee warrior of extraordinary skill and virtue must navigate treacherous mountain terrain, hostile enemies, and the unforgiving forces of nature in Edward S. Ellis's rousing Deerfoot in the Mountains. The novel continues the beloved saga of Deerfoot — a noble, fleet-footed hero whose courage, marksmanship, and deep moral code set him apart from both his own people and the settlers he befriends — as he confronts new dangers high in the peaks with the same breathless urgency that made the series a staple of Victorian-era boys' adventure literature. Ellis, a prolific American author who wrote over 500 works and is celebrated as one of the founding fathers of the frontier adventure genre, crafts a narrative propelled by vivid action sequences, taut suspense, and an idealized portrait of a vanishing wilderness. His prose is swift and muscular, designed to hold young readers in a vice-grip of excitement from first page to last. Part of the iconic Deerfoot Series, this instalment raises the stakes for the beloved hero in ways that will leave even seasoned readers of frontier fiction eager to turn the next page.
