He begins to see his captors from a very different perspective than the one he grew up with, changing himself and his captors along the way. This is a tale of struggle in the face of adversity and the need for self-reliance and the need to respect others. It is also the first of a group of romances concerned with the opening of the Great West just after the Civil War, and having a solid historical basis. The Last of the Chiefs, A Story of the Great Sioux War Another Sioux tale. This time, two orphaned farm boys from Illinois try their luck out West. They board a wagon train with a native American guide named Bright Sun who intrigues them. Before long, however, the wagon train is attacked by Indians. While the brothers escape, they find themselves isolated in the midst of Sioux country and must learn to hunt and trap in a life or death situation. This is an inspirational story, written a century ago. About The AuthorKentucky-born Joseph Alexander Altsheler (1862 –1919) was an American journalist turned novelist.
