Summary | "Dead Shot; Or, The White Vulture: A Romance of the Yellowstone" by Albert W. Aiken is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the rugged landscape of the Yellowstone region, primarily focusing on the tense interactions among various characters, including settlers and Native Americans. Central to the narrative are Abe Colt, known as the "Crow-Killer," a skilled prairie guide exacting revenge on the Crow tribe, and Dave Reed, a young guide with an intriguing connection to a mysterious stranger, setting the stage for conflict and romantic entanglements. At the start of the tale, readers are introduced to Fort Bent, a crucial outpost for wagon-trains heading to Montana, where the atmosphere is rife with tension due to the looming threat of Indian attacks. Abe Colt and Dave Reed stand out as two formidable characters, seasoned in the dangers of the frontier, each harboring significant histories that intertwine with the local tribes. The plot thickens with the appearance of a stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance to Dave, which sparks suspicion and curiosity among the guides. As tensions mount, the narrative hints at approaching conflict with the Crow tribe led by the young warrior known as the "White Vulture." The opening chapters set a vivid and suspenseful stage for the storyline, rich with danger, revenge, and the possibilities of love amidst turmoil. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
