Hobomok and Other Writings on Indians

Hobomok and Other Writings on Indians

Carolyn L. Karcher
2.8/5 ( ratings)
Hobomok, A Tale of Early Times is the provocative story of an upperclass white woman who marries an Indian chief, has a child, then leaves him--with the child--for another man. This novel, originally published in 1824, is a powerful first among antipatriarchal and antiracist novels in American literature. In addition, this collection contains seven remarkable short stories; an extract on Indian women from Child's groundbreaking History of the Condition of Women in Various Ages and Nations ; a selection from her best-selling volume of journalistic sketches, Letters from New-York ; and her eloquent Appeal for Indians . This revised edition of "Hobomok" and Other Writings on Indians includes three new stories--"The Church in the Wilderness," "Willie Wharton," and "The Indians"--as well as explanatory notes and an updated bibliography.
