Summary: "In the Pecos Country" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around a group of New England settlers who venture into the perilous Indian territory of New Mexico and Texas, led by the ambitious Caleb Barnwell. As they attempt to establish a settlement named New Boston, they encounter warnings about the fierce Apache chief, Lone Wolf, and the dangers that loom over their aspirations. The opening of the novel introduces us to the settlers as they embark on their daunting journey to the Upper Pecos valley, with a particular emphasis on Barnwell's leadership and their belief in the potential of the new land. The group soon meets Sut Simpson, an experienced scout who warns them of the imminent threat posed by Lone Wolf and his warriors. As the settlers dismiss his concerns, the tension escalates, foreshadowing the conflicts that are to come. The story also introduces young Fred Munson, a friend of the settlers, setting the stage for his heroic challenges as he inevitably faces the dangers posed by the Apache tribe. This gripping beginning establishes the themes of courage and survival against overwhelming odds in a frontier setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
