| Summary |
"Dick Onslow Among the Redskins" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of Dick Onslow, who is part of an emigrant party journeying to California, navigating the perilous landscapes of the Rocky Mountains. Along the way, they face numerous threats, including encounters with hostile Native American tribes and the dangers of the wilderness itself. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thrilling adventure as we are introduced to Dick Onslow and his companions, who embark on their migration to California. After camp is set, they are suddenly attacked by a group of hostile Indians, resulting in a chaotic struggle for survival. Dick is wounded in the chaos and becomes separated from the rest of the group, leading him into a desperate situation where he must rely on his resourcefulness to evade capture. As he hides and reflects on his precarious condition, he is forced into a battle of wits against nature and the threat of the Indigenous tribes, setting the tone for the suspenseful and action-packed events that will follow in his journey.
