Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Frontier Angel: A Romance of Kentucky Rangers' Life" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the last decades of the 18th century, focusing on the lives of settlers and rangers in the American frontier, particularly highlighting themes of love, danger, and survival. Central to the narrative are Marian Abbot and Russel Mansfield, whose budding romance is threatened by the lurking dangers of renegades and Native American tribes. At the start of the novel, the Abbot family is preparing for their impending journey westward as they plan to send their daughter, Marian, downriver on a flat-boat to a new life in Kentucky. Tensions arise over a malevolent figure known as Tom McGable, who has previously threatened Marian and is rumored to have turned renegade, enforcing a sense of dread around their departure. The opening vividly portrays the emotional weight of separation and fear that characterizes the settlers' lives, setting the stage for Marian's imminent journey filled with peril and the stakes of their fate amid a turbulent frontier.
