Sinopsis

In "Oonomoo the Huron," Edward S. Ellis crafts a compelling narrative that explores the rich tapestry of Native American life through the eyes of its titular character, a Huron warrior. This adventure tale, rife with vivid descriptions and authentic cultural depictions, reflects the Romantic literary style of the late 19th century, melding lush prose with action-driven storytelling. Set against the backdrop of North American conflicts and cultural interactions, Ellis deftly navigates themes of identity, survival, and honor, inviting readers to experience the trials and triumphs of his characters in a rapidly changing world. Edward S. Ellis, a prominent American author, was deeply influenced by the historical context of his time. Born in 1840 and raised in Indiana, Ellis's interest in Native American culture was likely shaped by both his frontier upbringing and the tumultuous relationship between settlers and indigenous populations. He devoted much of his writing career to producing works that showcased the struggles and perspectives of Native Americans, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of their history and cultures in an era that often oversimplified or marginalized them. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in Native American history, adventure literature, or the evolution of American storytelling. Ellis's engaging prose and thoughtful character development make "Oonomoo the Huron" not only an exhilarating adventure but also a resonant exploration of cultural identity, urging readers to reflect on the complexities of human experience amidst the forces of change.

    Thanksgiving - our annual festival of sharing amongst family and friends. A feast of favorite foods and comradery originated to memorialize the appreciation and remembrance of two diverse groups. We know the story of that chilly day in the Fall of 1621 when the Pilgrims of the Mayflower and those indigenous came together to share a meal. But before this, there was a predecessor. Lost in the annals of history is a story of a similar meal shared amongst adventurers and escapists. A meal shared by those from the land of the Crowne and others native to a land of untouched valleys and forests. A land they called home. This event has a different viewpoint. Found within these pages are the remembrances and adventures leading to that meal as re-told generationally by the surviving few. Recorded on these pages is that event - that First Feast.
