Erster Band. E-text prepared by richyfourtytwo, Delphine Lettau, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Amerikanische Wald- und Strombilder. Erster Band." by Friedrich Gerstäcker is a collection of narrative accounts, likely composed during the mid-19th century. This work delves into themes surrounding American landscapes, wildlife, and the experiences of settlers, particularly focusing on interactions with Native Americans and the natural environment. The book offers a mix of adventure, local color, and insight into the lives of characters navigating the American wilderness. The opening section introduces the story of Doctor Mac Botherme and his plan to steal a corpse for dissection after the death of an old Indian named Salomo. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of rising tensions between settlers and Native American tribes following past conflicts. As the doctor and his Irish servant Patrik O'Flaherti embark on their grave-robbing venture, they encounter the dark and treacherous wilderness, leading to an unexpected confrontation. At the same time, the townspeople of Waterton engage in their own discussions about the perceived threat of Native Americans, creating a vivid tableau of life on the American frontier, with themes of fear, superstition, and the clash of cultures permeating the tale.
