Publisher's Synopsis
Tokeah V1: Or The White Rose is a novel written by Charles Sealsfield and published in 1829. The story is set in the early 18th century and follows the adventures of a young man named Tokeah, who is a member of the Shawnee tribe in North America. Tokeah is sent on a mission to find a white rose, which is believed to have special powers that can help his people. Along the way, he encounters various obstacles and meets a variety of characters, including other Native American tribes, European settlers, and African slaves. The novel explores themes of identity, cultural clashes, and the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities. Sealsfield, who was himself an immigrant to the United States, uses Tokeah's journey as a metaphor for the challenges faced by people who are trying to navigate unfamiliar cultures and environments. The novel is considered an early example of American frontier literature and has been praised for its vivid descriptions of the natural landscape and its sympathetic portrayal of Native American characters.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
