Books with title John Ermine of the Yellowstone

No one knew how the blue-eyed, blond-haired white baby came to be abandoned, but the Crow tribe that found him raised him as one of its own. As he grew into adolescence, White Weasel was taken to Crooked-Bear, a white man who had long ago abandoned society for a solitary mountain existence and who acted as counselor to the Crow elders. Under Crooked-Bear’s tutelage, White Weasel was schooled in white ways and rechristened John Ermine. Frederic Remington’s compelling tale relates Ermine’s successful reintroduction into white society, his heroic exploits as a scout in the military, and his growing interest in a white lady, Miss Katherine Searles. In his love for Katherine, Ermine must face the complexities and inequalities of American society. Although American culture may well laud Ermine's military prowess and personal integrity, since he is “wild” he can never truly rise through the ranks of society. It is inevitable that Ermine’s story ends in tragedy.John Ermine of the Yellowstone is both an epic Western in the classic sense and a complex tale that captures the conflict between European Americans and Native Americans in the Wild West. John Ermine is the tragic character caught between two cultures, unable to assimilate fully into either. Famed artist Frederic Remington uses his pen to convey the irreparable stalemate between two groups of people in an untamed West while making a moving argument for the preservation of a truly wild western front.

John Ermine is a white man, brought up among the Crow Indians, who surrender him to a hermit, old Crooked Bear, to complete John’s education. Ermine finally enlists as a scout and takes part in an Indian campaign. The characters are real, their actions are entirely natural, and the reader, when he has finished the novel, is convinced that everything has happened. Accuracy, however, is not the only charm. There is much pathos in the novel. The character of the hero is so straightforward, his appearance so prepossessing, his courage so great, and his heart so simple and lovable, that the reader must deplore bitterly the misfortune that finally overtakes him.

Alder Gulch rolled up its shirt sleeves and fell to the upheaving, sluicing, drifting, and cradling of the gravel. It did not feel exactly like old-fashioned everyday work to the muddy, case-hardened diggers. Each man knew that by evening he would see the level of dust rise higher in his long buckskin gold-bags. All this made for the day when he could retire to the green East and marry some beautiful girl thereafter having nothing to do but eat pie and smoke fragrant cigars in a basking sunshine of no-work. Pie up at Kustar sbake-shop was now one dollar a pie, and a pipe full of molasses and slivers was the best to be had in the market. Life was hard at Alder in those days it was practical; and when its denizens became senti mental, it took these unlovely forms, sad to relate.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
