Old Bear-Paw, the trapper king; or, The love of a Blackfoot queen by Henry M. Avery
"Old Bear-Paw, the Trapper King; or, The Love of a Blackfoot Queen" by Maj. Max Martine is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the adventures of Lew Kelly, a scout and trapper, as he navigates the tumultuous landscapes of the Black Hills in search of gold and game, while also becoming embroiled in a conflict involving the Blackfoot Nation. Central to the plot are themes of
love and loyalty, particularly between Lew and Snowdrop, the daughter of a Blackfoot chief. The opening portion of the book introduces the characters Lew and Jehiel, who are engaged in a scouting expedition for gold and game when they encounter a dire situation involving Snowdrop's abduction by the Sioux. As tensions rise with the unexpected appearance of an Indian chief, Gray Eagle, and the implications of his broken leg due to a previous skirmish, Kelly's promise to help rescue Snowdrop turns into a quest filled with both danger and opportunity. The narrative sets the tone for a story steeped in adventure, romance, and the harsh realities of frontier life, establishing stakes as the characters prepare for bigger confrontations ahead.
