About This Book

A Delaware youth seeks to prove himself to his people by undertaking a solitary, dream-directed quest into the northern hunting grounds. The narrative follows episodic trials of tracking and hunting, dangerous river travel, narrow escapes in swamps and rapids, and clashes with rival bands that lead to pursuits and pitched skirmishes. Encounters with wild animals and mysterious omens punctuate the journey, while repeated tests of stealth, endurance, and leadership build toward a final confrontation that determines his standing among the warriors. Themes of coming-of-age, survival, loyalty, and traditional rites of courage run through the adventure.
