Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Daughter of the Sioux: A Tale of the Indian Frontier" by Charles King is a historical novel set in the late 19th century. The story takes place on the American frontier and follows the life of Lieutenant Beverly Field as he navigates the complexities of military duty and personal relationships amidst the rising tensions with Native American tribes. Key characters include Field, who is dedicated but distracted by his feelings for Esther Dade, and the captivating newcomer, Nanette Flower, who adds to the drama at Fort Frayne. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Major Webb and Lieutenant Field as they grapple with the lieutenant's frequent requests for absences to spend time with the lovely Esther Dade. The tension grows as it becomes evident that another woman, Nanette Flower, who has just arrived at Fort Frayne, captivates the attention of Field and other officers, inciting jealousy from Esther. As the chapter unfolds, it sets the stage for a sense of impending conflict, both personal and in terms of the looming threat from hostile Sioux forces. The relationships between the characters, particularly the dynamics between Field, Esther, and Nanette, foreshadow deeper complications that are likely to influence the unfolding story.
