Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wild Huntress: Love in the Wilderness" by Mayne Reid is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds in the backdrop of the American frontier, centering around Frank Wingrove, a young landowner who faces challenges with a squatter named Hickman Holt, whose daughters draw him into their lives and the dangers of their time—including encounters with Native Americans and the complexities of love in a wilderness setting. The opening of the book introduces us to a wild and picturesque Tennessee landscape, highlighting the tension between the young protagonist Frank Wingrove and the squatter Hickman Holt, as they discuss the ownership of the land. Their potential duel is interrupted by the presence of Holt's two daughters, Marian and Lilian, who are described in detail, emphasizing their distinct beauty and personalities. As the scene progresses, we see Marian as a fierce and resolute character, while Lilian embodies sweetness and innocence. The relationship dynamics begin to unfold through their interactions, particularly with an incoming visitor, signaling complications ahead, especially as Marian's father is portrayed as a somewhat controlling figure amid the ongoing tensions in their frontier life. This sets the tone for a story filled with excitement, romance, and conflict amid the beauty of the wild.
