Oonomoo the Huron
In the Ohio wilderness of the early frontier, Oonomoo the Huron tracks the raiders who took his friend. A Shawnee war party has struck, and now one man must navigate a world where every path may lead to death. Edward Sylvester Ellis crafts a rousing adventure through the borderlands where Native tribes and settlers clash, where loyalty is tested by violence, and where a Huron warrior must use every skill his people taught him to survive. The novel opens with Hans Vanderbum, a Dutchman married to a Huron woman, whose lazy disposition contrasts sharply with the urgent danger surrounding him. His village in Ohio sits in the shadow of war, and when Oonomoo arrives seeking aid, the stage is set for a tense tale of rescue and retaliation. This is adventure fiction from an earlier era, with all the racial attitudes and cultural assumptions that implies, but also with genuine sympathy for the Native characters who drive the narrative forward. For readers who enjoy historical adventures in the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper, Oonomoo's story offers a glimpse into a vanished world, one where the struggle between peoples shaped the future of a nation.
