Description
A Daughter of the Sioux is a novel set in the late 19th century during the Indian Wars. The story follows the life of a young girl named Winona, who is the daughter of a Sioux chief. When her father is killed in battle, Winona is taken captive by a group of white soldiers led by Captain Wayne. Wayne takes Winona back to his fort where she is raised as his own daughter. As Winona grows up, she struggles to reconcile her two identities and find her place in the world. Along the way, she faces prejudice and discrimination from both white and Native American communities. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the impact of cultural clashes on individuals and communities. Written by Captain Charles King, a veteran of the Indian Wars, A Daughter of the Sioux provides a unique perspective on the conflicts between Native Americans and white settlers during this tumultuous time in American history.1902. Also illustrated by Edwin Willard Deming. While many of his books were written under the name Captain Charles King, for some he is listed as General. The literary novels of Charles King are ones of Victorian ideals, morals and views played out on western frontiers, the Civil War, and the Spanish Philippines. His often melodramatic stories are based on personal adventures and experiences with detailed observations and opinions arising from specific times and places. Publishing over 60 novels and numerous short stories, King was a popular author in his day, yet today is known mostly for one title, Campaigning With Crook. The book begins: The major commanding looked up from the morning report and surveyed the post adjutant with something of perturbation, if not annoyance, in his grim, gray eyes. For the fourth time that week had Lieutenant Field requested permission to be absent for several hours. The major knew just why the junior wished to go and where. The major knew just why he wished him not to go, but saw fit to name almost any other than the real reason when, with a certain awkward hesitancy he began: W-ell, is the post return ready?
