| Summary | "Deerfoot on the Prairies" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book continues the adventures of Deerfoot, a young Shawanoe Indian, as he embarks on a journey with his companions George and Victor Shelton, and a Blackfoot warrior named Mul-tal-la, across the untamed American frontier toward the Pacific coast. Themes of friendship, discovery, and the exploration of the vast wilderness are central to the narrative, promising an exciting tale of adventure and growth. At the start of the story, the company sets off from Woodvale, Ohio, in the early spring, to begin their long expedition. Deerfoot is portrayed as a skilled horseman and a noble character, admired by onlookers as he rides with minimal gear. As they travel, they encounter various challenges, including the complexities of navigation, interactions with wild animals like a large herd of buffalo, and the dynamics of their friendships. The opening chapters establish their camaraderie and hint at the perils they might face along their journey, while also presenting Deerfoot’s thoughtful nature, care for his comrades, and a sense of their shared purpose in exploring the American landscape.
