"The Forest King" by Hervey Keyes is a historical novel penned in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the 17th century and centers around Mayall, a brave young hunter living in the lush and perilous Valley of the Mohawk. As a nobleman of nature, Mayall is depicted as courageous and kind-hearted, navigating love and warfare while protecting his loved ones from both human and animal foes. The opening of the novel introduces Mayall as he reflects fondly on his life in the valley, enriched by the beauty of nature and the love of his betrothed, Nelly Gordon. Tension arises as Mayall faces opposition from Nelly's parents, who are determined to marry her off to a wealthier suitor despite her love for him. As hostile Indian forces threaten the safety of the valley, Mayall's bravery shines through when he risks his life to protect Nelly and her family from danger, leading to his eventual flight with her into the wilderness. This sets the stage for a tale of adventure interwoven with love, family, and the struggles of frontier life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
