| Summary |
"Spotted Deer" by Elmer Russell Gregor is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young Delaware warrior named Spotted Deer, who faces peril and capture by the Shawnee after a successful hunting trip. As the narrative unfolds, readers can expect themes of bravery, survival, and the complexities of intertribal conflicts during a tumultuous time in Native American history. The opening of the novel introduces Spotted Deer as he joyously returns from a hunting expedition, only to be confronted with danger when he hears the call of a loon that he suspects may be a signal from enemies. As he navigates the river with unease, he ultimately discovers a group of Shawnee canoers, leading to his capture. Spotted Deer is taken to the Shawnee camp, where he is faced with the prospect of execution, teased by his captors, and burdened by the realization that he must uphold the honor of his tribe. The tension builds as he encounters the enigmatic Mystery Woman, who claims she can help him, adding layers of suspense to his already precarious situation.
