Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wilderness Fugitives" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the characters Jo Minturn, his sister Rosa, and Ned Clinton, who find themselves in the midst of the American Revolutionary War during their flight from the Wyoming massacre. As they navigate the treacherous wilderness, they encounter various dangers and attempts from enemies to recapture them, with their survival hinging on the guidance of the Mohawk scout, Lena-Wingo. The opening of the book re-establishes the characters' precarious situation as they initially believe they are safe but are soon reminded of the lurking dangers in the wilderness. Jo, Rosa, and Ned are reunited near a fallen tree, where they engage in discussions influenced by their recent dangerous encounters. The mood shifts with the arrival of Lena-Wingo, who cryptically hints that he has found something important, leading to an air of mystery and tension. As the night progresses, it becomes clear that their enemies are still on their trail, heightening the suspense and intrigue of their plight. The scene sets the stage for an adventure filled with danger, love, and the struggle for freedom amidst the conflicts of the era.
