E. Badger is a novel written in the early 1870s. The narrative focuses on the struggles of settlers during the Sioux uprisings and introduces the character Dusky Dick, a man with a notorious reputation whose motivations are shrouded in suspicion. As the story unfolds, the pivotal characters include Edward Wilson and his daughter Annie, who find themselves embroiled in a conflict that involves threats from both native tribes and their own neighbor. At the start of the novel, we meet Edward Wilson and his daughter Annie at their log cabin when Dusky Dick arrives with alarming news of impending Sioux unrest. While Wilson is initially wary of Dick, he recognizes the urgency of the situation. They soon learn that the Sioux plan to attack nearby settlements, and Dick proposes a controversial deal to Wilson, demanding Annie's hand in marriage in exchange for protecting their homestead. The tension escalates leading to conflict, as characters grapple with treachery, hospitality, and the looming threat of violence, setting the stage for a gripping tale of survival.
