| Summary | "Wyoming" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book depicts the turbulent events surrounding the Wyoming Valley massacre, focusing on the experiences of a young patriot named Fred Godfrey as he rushes to protect his family and friends amid the chaos of war. It explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the harsh realities of conflict during the American Revolutionary War. The opening of "Wyoming" introduces Fred Godfrey, an eighteen-year-old soldier racing home to the Wyoming Valley, where his loved ones are under threat from invading forces. As he gallops closer to the settlement, he witnesses smoke and hears gunfire, signaling the imminent danger. The narrative quickly unfolds, revealing Fred’s character as both ambitious and determined, eager to defend his home and kin from Tories and Iroquois Indians. Meanwhile, other characters, including Fred's family—Maggie, Eva, and Aunt Peggy—experience their own flight from danger, positioning the story to weave together their fates as they navigate the perilous landscape of battle and survival.
