| Summary | "The Ward of Tecumseh" by Crittenden Marriott is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the War of 1812, the story revolves around the main characters Jack Telfair and Alagwa, a young maiden of mixed heritage caught in the tensions between her Indian upbringing and her white ancestry. The novel explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the complex relationships forged in a time of conflict. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage with Jack Telfair reeling from unrequited love as he learns of his cousin Alagwa, who is raised by the Shawnee chief Tecumseh. As Jack contemplates his feelings for Sally Habersham, the narrative quickly shifts to Alagwa, who grapples with her own identity and the expectations placed upon her. Upon receiving a message about her heritage, Alagwa is faced with an unexpected destiny as Tecumseh prepares for war. As the story unfolds, she embarks on a perilous journey, both to reclaim her legacy and to navigate a world fraught with danger from both the British and American forces. The opening chapters effectively establish the characters and their motivations, drawing readers into a rich historical landscape filled with tension and intrigue.
