Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Way of an Indian" by Frederic Remington is a historical narrative probably written during the early 20th century. The book explores the life and experiences of Native American warriors in the late 19th century, focusing on the character White Otter, a young Indigenous man torn between his aspirations for glory and the spiritual and societal pressures of his culture. At the start of the story, we meet White Otter, who grapples with feelings of inadequacy and a longing for recognition as a warrior. As he watches the peaceful landscape and reflects on his ancestors' valor, he is engulfed by his desire for honor, especially after his companions embark on a war party. Following a significant night where he seeks divine protection, a mystical bat becomes his medicine, promising strength and guidance. This opening portion sets the stage for White Otter's journey, where he must confront not only the external challenges of warfare but also the internal struggles of identity and expectations within his community.
