| Summary |
"The Gold Rock of the Chippewa" by D. Lange is a historical novel set in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the summer of 1775, amidst the scenic backdrop of Lake Superior, focusing on the adventures of two young Americans, Bruce and Ray Henley, as they navigate the complexities of Native American culture and the wilderness. The novel explores themes of bravery, friendship, and survival through the lens of their encounters with the Chippewa tribe while searching for Bruce's friend. The opening of the story introduces readers to a Chippewa camp where a council discusses the fate of two unwelcome American visitors. This council is characterized by tension as Hamogeesik, a warrior seeking vengeance against the English, clashes with Ganawa, an elder advocating for hospitality and protection of the guests. As the council ultimately decides to adopt Bruce and Ray, they engage with the tribe's way of life and embark on a journey across the cold, expansive waters of Lake Superior, setting the stage for their emerging adventures in this captivating wilderness. The narrative hints at underlying dangers from figures like Hamogeesik, while also conveying the beauty and peril of the natural environment they are exploring.
