The book follows the adventures of a young soldier named Frank Norcross, who is sent to the frontier to fight against the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes. Along the way, he meets a beautiful Native American woman named Wild Flower, who teaches him about her people's culture and way of life. As the two fall in love, they must navigate the complex and dangerous world of the frontier, where violence and betrayal are a constant threat. Against this backdrop, Norcross and Wild Flower must decide where their loyalties lie, and whether they can overcome the cultural and racial barriers that separate them. The Last War Trail is a gripping tale of love, war, and adventure, set against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent periods in American history.1887. Ellis, a prolific writer who used a number of pseudonyms, is the author of stories for The Flying Boys Series, Deerfoot Series, Boys Banner Series, Foreign Adventure Series, Wyoming Valley Series, Young Pioneer Series, Log Cabin Series and many more. The Last War Trail is the third volume in the Deerfoot Series. The book begins: Now, I have a secret which I wish to tell my young friends in this the first chapter of The Last War Trail. I believe it is the rule among storywriters that such matters are to be held back until the close of the narrative. In one respect I am following that rule, for the little secret about which I dropped a hint here and there among the Young Pioneer Series, Log-Cabin Series, and the two volumes of this series, has been reserved for the last in which the name of Deerfoot the Shawanoe will ever be mentioned.
