Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Phantom Rider; or The Giant Chief's Fate: A Tale of the Old Dahcotah" by Maro O. Rolfe is a novel written in the early 1870s. The story unfolds in the North-west during a period when settlers faced dangers from both nature and native tribes. The plot centers around Vinnie Darke, the daughter of a frontier hunter, and her struggles against an Indian chief, Ku-nan-gu-no-nah, who is determined to claim her as his wife. At the start of the tale, the bleak atmosphere reflects the challenges faced by Vinnie and her father, Emmett Darke, as they prepare for a stormy night. Vinnie displays a courageous spirit as she confronts the chief's advances, while Emmett is depicted as a protective father, ready to defend his daughter against any threats. Their home, a log cabin nestled within the forest, serves as a backdrop for growing tensions, especially as Vinnie contemplates the danger posed by the chief's obsession with her. As the chapter unfolds, the reader is introduced to a rich landscape of peril and bravery, setting the stage for a gripping narrative filled with suspense and conflict.
