Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"An Apache Princess: A Tale of the Indian Frontier" by Charles King is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the backdrop of the American Southwest, focusing on the life of Angela Wren, the daughter of a soldier stationed at a remote fort. As tensions run high between settlers and the indigenous Apache people, the narrative explores Angela's encounters and relationship with Lieutenant Neil Blakely, a complex character often at odds with the military's expectations and societal norms. The opening of the tale introduces Angela as she waits by a tranquil pool, lost in her thoughts while the sun sets over the rugged landscape. This moment of solitude is interrupted by the presence of an Apache girl, who silently warns her of an approaching figure, leading Angela to encounter Lieutenant Blakely in a moment of vulnerability. As the chapter unfolds, the tension between Angela's burgeoning feelings and her father's protective nature sets the stage for potential conflict, foreshadowing the intertwining of their fates against the backdrop of cultural and personal struggles. The narrative hints at deeper issues of identity, loyalty, and the complex relationships between different cultures on the frontier.
