Project Gutenberg 2005-03-11 Public domain in the USA. 119 Adams, John Turvill 1805 1882 The lost hunter: A tale of early times Produced by Robert Shimmin, S.R.Ellison and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Lost Hunter: A Tale of Early Times" by John Turvill Adams is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative appears to delve into interactions between early American settlers and Native Americans, centering around a recluse known as Holden, who lives alone on an island and engages with various characters including a wounded young man named Pownal and local Native tribes. The story blends themes of solitude, reflection, and the complex relations between cultures during a time of expansion and conflict. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a serene autumn morning where Holden, the protagonist, stands on his island immersed in prayer, revealing a solitary and contemplative nature. Soon, he becomes involved in a dramatic incident when he rescues a young man, Pownal, who has been shot. As the narrative unfolds, the wounded Pownal is brought to Holden's humble cabin, where the two begin to develop a rapport, further complicated by the presence of local Native Americans, particularly the Pequot Indian Ohquamehud, whose intentions remain ambiguous. This opening sets a tone of tension mixed with moments of kindness, hinting at the larger themes of cultural identity and moral dilemmas that will likely be explored throughout the book.
