Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Wolf Ear the Indian: A story of the great uprising of 1890-91" by Edward S. Ellis is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the tragic and turbulent events leading to and during the Sioux uprising against the U.S. government, exploring themes of conflict, friendship, and cultural misunderstanding through the lens of characters caught in the tumult. The story is likely to feature tension between Brinton Kingsland, a young settler, and Wolf Ear, an Ogalalla Indian, as they navigate their complex relationship amidst rising hostilities. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the dire circumstances surrounding the Kingsland family, who live on Raccoon Creek and are faced with the growing unrest among local Native American tribes, notably spurred by the death of Sitting Bull. The opening scenes describe Brinton's narrow escape from a hostile encounter with a young Sioux warrior named Wolf Ear, before transitioning into the broader context of the tensions between settlers and tribes. As Brinton grapples with the implications of this conflict, he is propelled toward a perilous journey to ensure his family's safety, setting the stage for drama and exploration of moral dilemmas as the uprising unfolds.
