Produced by Anonymous Volunteers, Ted Soldan, and David Widger
"Rolf in the Woods" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a novel written during the early 20th century that explores the themes of nature, adventure, and the friendship between cultures. The story follows Rolf Kittering, a young boy who finds himself navigating the trials of life after the death of his mother, ultimately leading him to an Indian named Quonab. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century American wilderness, the book delves into the challenges both characters face as they build a bond and learn from one another's contrasting lifestyles. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Quonab, the last of the Myanos Sinawa, who practices traditional Native American rituals and lives a simple life reliant on nature. The narrative unfolds with Quonab preparing for the day as he offers prayers to the Great Spirit and hunts for sustenance. Meanwhile, Rolf is depicted as an orphan who has recently arrived at the farm of his Uncle Micky, where he endures a harsh and abusive environment. Their paths intersect when Rolf, drawn to Quonab's way of life and wisdom, eventually seeks refuge with him after fleeing his uncle's cruelty. The opening chapters set the stage for Rolf's transition from a struggling boy in a hostile world to one who learns the ways of the wilderness and finds companionship in Quonab, emphasizing the transformative power of nature and friendship.
