"Deerfoot in The Mountains" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a young adult adventure novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the story of Deerfoot, a Shawanoe youth, and his friends, George and Victor Shelton, as they journey through the wilderness, facing various challenges while exploring the American frontier. The narrative delves into themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the clashes between Indigenous cultures and encroaching white settlers. The opening of the book sets the stage for the adventure, introducing Deerfoot and his companions as they travel from the Ohio River toward the Pacific Coast. They pause to admire the grandeur of the ocean, and discussions about their respective cultures and the future of their lands arise, highlighting Deerfoot's profound contemplation. As they make their way back upriver, the group encounters hardship that tests their resilience and friendship. The narrative hints at Deerfoot's sense of responsibility toward his horse, Whirlwind, and foreshadows the challenges to come, creating an engaging atmosphere that draws readers into the unfolding adventure.
