About This Book

The narrative follows Lone-Elk, an outcast Seneca whose cunning and vanity embroil him in a Delaware village's life; after leading and manipulating communal ceremonies he is accused of witchcraft, provoking a relentless pursuit that reveals secret lead workings, hidden camps and salt springs. Episodes include espionage, ambushes, captures, an explosion, confrontations that test loyalties, a mysterious tomahawk, and a cabin set afire; mysteries are gradually unraveled, alliances shift, and the tale closes with parting and a final descent together toward an uncertain future.
