Footprints in the Forest by Edward Sylvester Ellis
"Footprints in the Forest" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Jack Carleton and his companion Deerfoot, a skilled Shawanoe warrior, as they embark on a perilous journey to rescue their friend Otto Relstaub, who has fallen into the hands of a band of Pawnee Indians. At the start of the narrative, Carleton reminisces about previous adventures, particularly Otto's captureby Sauk Indians. After hearing from a Sauk warrior named Hay-uta that Otto is still alive, Jack travels into the wilderness with Deerfoot to hunt for Otto. The opening sets a tense atmosphere as the characters prepare to face the dangers of the forest while grappling with the uncertainty of Otto's fate. Their initial campfire conversation hints at the dangers ahead, as they suspect they may be followed by an unknown enemy, foreshadowing the thrilling challenges they are about to encounter.
