"Wolf-Cap; or, The Night-Hawks of the Fire-Lands: A Tale of the Bloody Fort" by Capt. Chas. Howard is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story unfolds during the War of 1812, focusing on the plight of settlers in the fire-lands—an area fraught with danger from British and Native American forces. The main character is Wolf-Cap, a formidable trapper who becomes embroiled in the chaos of invading marauders, determined to protect the settlers and defend his home. The opening of the novel establishes a tense and dangerous atmosphere as Wolf-Cap learns from Johnny Appleseed that his home and community are threatened by the return of ruthless outlaws known as the Night-Hawks. The narrative introduces Wolf-Cap’s fierce loyalty and readiness to confront danger, as he prepares to rally the settlers and navigate the perils that lie ahead. As he moves around the moonlit woods, his deep concern for the well-being of his neighbors, especially young Huldah Armstrong, becomes palpable. The chapter sets the stage for a clash between good and evil, showcasing the struggles of frontier life against the backdrop of war and treachery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
