Summary "Black Nick, the Hermit of the Hills; or, The Expiated Crime" by Frederick Whittaker is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the American Revolutionary War, the story involves themes of survival, espionage, and supernatural elements. The central characters include Indian warriors, a mysterious white man connected to Burgoyne's army, and the enigmatic figure of Black Nick, who embodies the supernatural aspect lurking in the wilderness. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a group of Indian warriors preparing to meet a British emissary in the midst of a twilight setting filled with portentous signs of an approaching storm. This atmosphere of tension and anticipation is compounded by the arrival of a messenger, who bears urgent news about a looming attack. Just as the plot thickens, the bizarre figure of Black Nick appears, disrupting the warrior's camp with a demoniacal presence that evokes both terror and awe. This blurs the lines between reality and myth, setting up a gripping narrative steeped in historical conflict and haunting intrigue as the characters navigate the dangers that surround them.
