Lahoma is a novel written by John Breckinridge Ellis. The book is set in the early 1900s in Oklahoma, a newly formed state in the United States. The story follows the life of Lahoma, a young woman who is half Native American and half white. Lahoma is raised by her Native American grandmother and is deeply connected to her culture and traditions.As Lahoma grows up, she faces many challenges due to her mixed heritage. She is often discriminated against by white people who see her as inferior because of her Native American roots. Despite this, Lahoma is determined to succeed and make a life for herself.The book explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle for acceptance. It also touches on the history of Oklahoma and the conflicts between Native Americans and white settlers.Overall, Lahoma is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that sheds light on the experiences of mixed-race individuals in early 20th century America.It came over him with disconcerting suddenness that he had lost a great deal of time, and that every moment spent in the covered wagon was fraught with imminent danger. It was not in his mind that the hand of highwaymen might discover his hiding-place. Knowing them as he did, he was sure they would not come so far from their haunts or from the Sante Fe train in pursuit of him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
