Wyandotte (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162717937)

Wyandotte is a novel written by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in 1843. The story is set in the late 18th century in the Great Lakes region of North America and follows the life of a young man named Hard-Heart, a member of the Wyandot tribe. Hard-Heart is torn between his loyalty to his tribe and his love for a white woman named Ellen Wade. Ellen and her father, Major Duncan Wade, have been captured by the Wyandots and are being held captive. As the story unfolds, Hard-Heart becomes embroiled in a number of conflicts and struggles to reconcile his feelings for Ellen with his obligations to his tribe. Along the way, he encounters a number of other characters, including the cunning and manipulative Simon Kenton, who seeks to use Hard-Heart for his own purposes. Throughout the novel, Cooper explores themes of loyalty, love, and the clash of cultures between Native Americans and white settlers. He also delves into the complexities of identity and the ways in which individuals can be torn between different loyalties and allegiances. Overall, Wyandotte is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a nuanced portrayal of the tensions and conflicts that defined the early years of American history.The intention of the major to quit the Knoll that day, was announced to the family at breakfast, on the following morning. His mother and Beulah heard this intelligence, with a natural and affectionate concern, that they had no scruples in avowing; but Maud seemed to have so schooled her feelings, that the grief she really felt was under a prudent control. To her, it appeared as if her secret were constantly on the point of exposure, and she believed that would cause her instant death.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
