| 520 | _a"Death-Dealer, the Shawnee Scourge; or The Wizard of the Cliffs" by Arthur L. Meserve is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a scout named Dick, known as the Death-Dealer, who traverses the perilous landscapes of early America, confronting threats from both Native American tribes and the wilderness. As he navigates danger, his character is defined by his relentless pursuit of vengeance against those who threaten the settlers and his estranged camaraderie with the rifle he affectionately names Susannah. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Dick in a deeply atmospheric setting, as he seeks refuge from the oppressive summer heat of a century long past. Lying concealed in the woods, he is described as a grotesque yet formidable figure, nearly indistinguishable from the very wilds he inhabits. His reputation as the Death-Dealer stems from his lethal aptitude for tracking and hunting down indigenous foes. However, a sense of foreboding hangs in the air, as Dick senses that the local tribes are plotting something sinister against the settlers. The arrival of a savage draws him into a tense confrontation, indicating that the stakes of survival and combat will be crucial as the story unfolds.
