| Summary | "The Wood King; or, Daniel Boone's Last Trail" by Jos. E. Badger, Jr. is a historical romance novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Osage Country, the story follows the legendary frontiersman Daniel Boone as he navigates the dangers of the wilderness and confronts conflicts between Native American tribes and early settler communities. Central to the plot is Boone’s relationship with a Kickapoo chief named Lightfoot, highlighting themes of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of tribal alliances during turbulent times. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to a tense scene where Boone, referred to as the "Wood King," witnesses a skirmish involving a Kickapoo warrior fleeing Osage pursuers. Upon recognizing the injured warrior as his friend, Boone resolves to help the fugitive as they both navigate danger and threats from various tribes. As Boone and Lightfoot evade the attackers, the narrative builds suspense around potential tribal conflicts and hints at larger dangers looming for both the settlers and Native Americans alike. The interplay between friendship and survival against the backdrop of a brutal wilderness sets the stage for the unfolding drama, capturing the essence of frontier life and the complexities of human relationships in that era.
