"Intiaanin kiitollisuus: Seikkailuja kaukaisessa lännessä" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the interactions and conflicts between early American settlers and Native Americans, featuring prominent characters such as Simon Kenton, a notable frontiersman, and Mul-keep-mo, a fierce Miami warrior known as 'Calkarokäärme.' The story explores themes of bravery, survival, and the complexity of human relationships in a tumultuous historical context. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Simon Kenton, who navigates the beautiful but perilous Ohio wilderness, showcasing his skills and vigilance as a seasoned woodsman. He hears a distant gunshot which prompts him to remain alert as he continues on his journey. The narrative quickly shifts to Mul-keep-mo, who is also making his way through the forest, highlighting the tension between Native Americans and white settlers. As these two characters' paths cross, a climactic battle ensues, demonstrating both the glory and brutality of frontier life. This opening portion sets the stage for an adventure that promises to delve deep into the lives and conflicts that shaped America’s westward expansion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
