Little Wolf, a Tale of the Western Frontier

Mary Ann Cornelius' Little Wolf is an adventurous story about the western frontier. We meet the "Generous, warm-hearted, and strikingly handsome, Edward Sherman who "appeared a perfect type of manhood." in New England and follow him to the Upper Mississippi region. When Edward meets Little Wolf all excitement breaks loose!"Her beautiful, bewitching face had been half hidden by curls, and covered with blushes, from the moment her faintness had passed off, and, but for the twinkle of those mischief-loving brown eyes, and certain unmistakable movements of her slight figure, she might have passed for meekness itself. To those, therefore, who were unacquainted with her peculiarly nervous and impulsive temperament, the change in her appearance was rather surprising. With one sweep of her plump little hand, she tossed back the ringlets from her brow, and frowningly declared she wished she had killed them."
