About this eBook

Author Reid, Mayne, 1818-1883
Title The White Squaw
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "The White Squaw" by Captain Mayne Reid is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of Tampa Bay, the story presents a blend of adventure, intrigue, and the contrasting cultures of Native Americans and European settlers. The narrative focuses on characters such as Warren, a young white man, and Nelatu, a Seminole Indian youth, who becomes embroiled in conflict and friendship, hinting at themes of loyalty and betrayal. The opening of the book introduces readers to a tense encounter in the twilight of Tampa Bay, where Warren hears a cry for help and rushes into the woods, discovering an Indian youth, Nelatu, who has been attacked. After saving him from a would-be assassin named Red Wolf, the two forge an alliance. The narrative quickly establishes a tension between settlers and Native Americans, and the complexities of their relationships, especially as Warren appears to harbor secret motives regarding Nelatu's sister, Sansuta. This initial chapter sets the stage for a story rich in conflict and character development in a vivid and natural setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
