| Summary |
"Running Fox" by Elmer Russell Gregor is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Running Fox, a young Delaware warrior eager to prove himself and establish his reputation, particularly as the son of a renowned war-chief. The novel immerses readers in the challenges and adventures of Native American life, as Running Fox embarks on a dangerous journey into enemy territory to uncover the secrets of a formidable Mohawk leader, Standing Wolf. The beginning of the story introduces Running Fox as he seeks to earn his place among the warriors of his tribe. Motivated by a desire for courage and recognition, he consults his father and a medicine-man, Sky Dog, who instructs him on the importance of purifying himself. Following the advice provided, he embarks on a lonely vigil in the wilderness, praying for a vision that will aid him in his quest. As Running Fox undergoes spiritual trials, he encounters various challenges that test his resolve and bravery. The opening chapters set the stage for a narrative rich with adventure and exploration of themes such as bravery, tradition, and the struggle against adversity.
