Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Trail of the Seneca" by James A. Braden is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the late 18th century and revolves around the interactions and tensions between Indigenous tribes and early settlers in North America. The narrative features a complex character named Lone-Elk, who is a Seneca outcast, and explores themes of witchcraft accusations and cultural conflicts during a time of societal upheaval. At the start of the book, we meet Lone-Elk, a Seneca who has assumed a leading role among the Delawares, conducting the Harvest Festival while secretly harboring ambition and treachery. The festivities are interrupted by the mysterious death of Big Buffalo, leading to accusations against Lone-Elk, who manipulates the situation to blame a white boy, John Jerome, claiming witchcraft for the death. With tensions brewing and accusations flying, John faces peril while his friend Ree Kingdom prepares to confront the challenges and defend their lives. The opening sets the stage for a gripping tale of survival, cultural clashes, and the quest for truth in a divided world.
