Summary: "The Island Trapper; or, The Young White-Buffalo Hunters" by Capt. Chas. Howard is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the adventurous Frontier Shack and two young boys, Charley Shafer and George Long, as they navigate the dangers of the American West, particularly focusing on their encounters with hostile Native Americans and their desire to hunt white buffaloes. The narrative is infused with themes of bravery, the spirit of adventure, and the stark realities of frontier life. The opening of this novel introduces us to Frontier Shack, a rugged frontiersman, who is accompanied by his iron-gray horse, Tecumseh. They hear music and Indian war cries, which leads Shack to investigate. He soon comes upon a group of Pawnee Indians who are torturing two captured youths, who turn out to be the boys seeking out white buffaloes. Just as the situation seems dire, Frontier Shack intervenes, brandishing his weapons to save the boys from certain death. He learns that they were part of a larger group that faced a massacre, and together they plan to rescue their companions, a pair of young women, from the clutches of the marauding Pawnees. The high stakes are set against the backdrop of intense action and the perilous nature of life on the frontier. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
