E-text prepared by the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team from images provided by the Million Book Project "The Frontiersmen" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a historical novel published in the early 20th century, likely around the early 1900s. The narrative is set against the backdrop of frontier America and explores the lives of early settlers, including themes of love, conflict, and survival in a tumultuous environment. The main characters include the brave and spirited Peninnah Penelope Anne Mivane, who navigates both her romantic interests and the harsh realities of pioneer life, and Ralph Emsden, her young pioneer lover who faces external threats alongside the settlers. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Peninnah Penelope Anne Mivane, who watches with determination from the safety of a stockade—a protective enclosure for settlers—during an attack by Cherokees. The narrative reveals her resilience as she aids Ralph Emsden during a violent confrontation, highlighting both their romantic bond and the grim reality of frontier life. Much of the opening details their interaction amidst the chaos, as well as the eccentricities of her grandfather, Richard Mivane, who struggles with his deafness but navigates his role as a protector and patriarch. As the plot unfolds, tensions between settlers and indigenous peoples are explored, alongside burgeoning young love amidst the turmoil.
