Ellis is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. This book centers on the life of Alice Ripley, a young girl living in Wyoming Valley during the tumultuous times of the American Revolution, and her interactions with Omas, a Delaware Indian warrior, and his daughter, Linna. Through these characters, the narrative explores themes of friendship and cultural understanding among different communities amidst conflict. The beginning of the story introduces Alice Ripley, a joyful and carefree child playing "Jack Stones" in her home on July 1, 1778. As she enjoys her game, she encounters Omas, a fierce-looking Delaware warrior who is actually an old friend. He shares news of his daughter, Linna, and soon the girls meet, forming a bond despite their different backgrounds. The passage sets the stage for the complexities of their relationships, especially with the underlying tensions of the ongoing war and the precarious situation of settlers in the region, establishing an engaging conflict that promises to unfold as the narrative progresses. Through the lens of childhood innocence intersecting with the realities of colonial strife, the story hints at both the joys of friendship and the lurking dangers that threaten their peace.
