J. M. Travers is a historical romance written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the events leading up to the infamous Battle of the Little Bighorn, featuring characters such as General George Custer and various warriors, including the old ranger Pandy Ellis and the young boy Mason, who embarks on a dangerous mission. With themes of bravery, betrayal, and loyalty, the book places its characters at the heart of one of America's most significant and tragic military engagements. The opening of the story introduces two main characters: the seasoned ranger Pandy Ellis, who is determined to find his missing friend Bolly Wherrit, and an Indian chief named Yellow Hawk, with whom he has a tense standoff. As Ellis navigates the treacherous landscape, he learns of a large gathering of Sioux warriors aligned against Custer, heightening the stakes of his quest. Simultaneously, Bolly Wherrit, a prisoner in the Indian camp, contemplates the dire situation while reflecting on the turmoil that lies ahead as he yearns for escape and the chance to rejoin the battle alongside Custer. The narrative is infused with tension, anticipation, and the promise of action, setting the stage for the gripping conflicts to follow in the unfolding saga.
