About 4 h 41 min of reading29 chapters

Deerfoot in the Mountains, published in 1905, is the third book of Edward S. Ellis's New Deerfoot Series, adventure stories for boys about a Shawnee youth of almost superhuman woodcraft and unswerving Christian faith. Here Deerfoot and his young white companions travel north and west from the Mississippi through the country of the Assiniboines into the Rockies, spend a winter among the Blackfeet, and on the way home cross paths with the Lewis and Clark expedition. Ellis keeps the action steady with trailing, ambushes, a duel and rescues, and he gives his hero a mixture of courage, generosity and temperance sermonizing typical of turn-of-the-century juvenile fiction. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
