Publisher's Synopsis
The Settler And The Savage is a novel by R.M. Ballantyne that tells the story of a group of settlers who travel to the Canadian wilderness in search of a new life. The main character, Ralph Rashleigh, is a young man who is determined to make a success of his new life in the wilderness. However, he soon finds himself in conflict with the local indigenous people, who are hostile to the settlers' presence.As the settlers struggle to survive in the harsh wilderness, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of life in a new and unfamiliar place. They face challenges such as harsh weather, dangerous animals, and the threat of attack from the indigenous people.The Settler And The Savage is a gripping tale of survival and adventure that explores the themes of conflict, courage, and the human spirit. It is a classic work of literature that has been enjoyed by readers for generations.Ruyter quietly told the savage that he would then have to take the consequences, and urged, in addition, that it was folly to suppose the Kafirs were in a condition to make war on the white men just then. It was barely a year since they had been totally routed and driven across the Great Fish River with great slaughter. No warrior of common sense would think of renewing hostilities at such a time--their young men slain, their resources exhausted. Hintza had better bide his time. In the meanwhile he could gratify his revenge without much risk to himself or his young braves, by stealing in a quiet systematic way from the white men as their herds and flocks increased.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
