Summary: "The Red Wizard; or, The Cave Captive" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a novel written in the late 19th century. This tale is set against the backdrop of the American frontier, featuring themes of survival, conflict between settlers and Native Americans, and the complex dynamics of love and betrayal.

The opening of the novel introduces several characters embroiled in tension and conflict, beginning with a confrontation involving a young Sioux woman, a scout named Wash Lawton, and a man named George Parsons. As tensions rise, the scout defends the young woman from harm at the hands of others, showcasing his principles against unnecessary violence. Meanwhile, with the emigrants preparing to camp for the night, danger looms as they are confronted by the realities of their perilous journey. The scene is set for a dramatic unfolding of events that will challenge the characters' convictions and relationships, particularly as the threat of Native American attacks becomes imminent.
