The Daughter of the Chieftain is a historical novel written by Edward S. Ellis. The story is set in the early 18th century and follows the life of Wauna, the daughter of a Native American chieftain. Wauna is a strong-willed and independent young woman who defies the traditional gender roles of her tribe. She is skilled in hunting, fishing, and horseback riding, and dreams of leading her people one day.However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she is captured by a rival tribe and sold into slavery. Wauna is forced to adapt to a new way of life and struggles to maintain her identity and dignity. Along the way, she meets a young man named Robert, who is also a captive of the tribe. Together, they plan their escape and embark on a dangerous journey back to Wauna's tribe.The Daughter of the Chieftain explores themes of identity, cultural differences, and the strength of the human spirit. It is a gripping tale of adventure and survival that offers a unique perspective on Native American culture and history.I'm going to take her with us as a hostage. We're not clear of the varmints yet. I believe Omas himself ain't far off, and the rest will be on our heels all the way to Stroudsburg. If they get us in a tight place, I'll let 'em know we've got the gal of Omas with us, and if they harm a hair of our heads it'll be all up with her. We'll take her clean to Stroudsburg, and then turn her loose, for we won't have any further need of her; but she must go with us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
