Ellis, Edward Sylvester. Deerfoot in the forest. [†]$1. Winston.
This is the first of a new series of Indian stories which continues the adventures of the author’s famous character Deerfoot, the Shewanoe. The time and incidents depicted are those of the Lewis and Clark expeditions. The plot of “Deerfoot in the forest” centers about the rescue of two boys by Deerfoot, and the thrilling adventures attending their return to safe territory.
“All Mr. Ellis’ tales, like those of Castlemon, Oliver Optic and other writers of this class, are replete with interest, action and excitement, and the present volume ... is fully up to the standard set by Mr. Ellis in his popular series of tales that have preceded the present books.”
