"Little Oskaloo; or, The White Whirlwind" by T. C. Harbaugh is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the early American frontier during the 1790s, the story revolves around conflicts between Native American tribes and American settlers as the nation expands westward. Central characters in this tale include Harvey Catlett, a young scout, and Little Moccasin, a mysterious and fluid figure whose connection to the tribal world is complex and pivotal. At the start of the book, tensions are high as tribes like the Shawnees and Delawares prepare for war against the advancing army of General Wayne. The narrative introduces two scouts, Wolf Cap and Harvey Catlett, who, after hearing of a possible threat to a nearby settler family (the Merriweathers), set out to provide protection. The opening chapters reveal the dynamics of both the settlers' and the tribes' struggles, exploring themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the intricacies of human relationships amid warfare. As the plot unfolds, characters like Jim Girty, the White Whirlwind, emerge to complicate matters with their duplicitous motives, suggesting an action-driven narrative filled with suspense.
