Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"John Ermine of the Yellowstone" by Frederic Remington is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American West during the mid-19th century and explores the life of a mixed-race boy, John Ermine, who is adopted by the Crow Indian tribe. The narrative delves into themes of identity, cultural conflict, and the struggles between Indigenous peoples and white settlers. The opening of the novel introduces the bustling, rough-and-tumble mining town of Virginia City as miners engage in gold-digging activities, dreaming of a better life. A significant event takes place when Rocky Dan, a local gambler, excitedly shares his encounter with a white boy living among the Crow Indians. This revelation sparks a collective decision among the townspeople to mount a rescue mission to save the boy, who is believed to have been kidnapped. The chapter sets the stage for themes of loyalty, bravery, and the complex interplay between the differing cultures of Indigenous peoples and white settlers, all of which intertwine throughout John Ermine's journey.
