520			_a"At War with Pontiac; Or, The Totem of the Bear: A Tale of Redcoat and Redskin" by Kirk Munroe is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the tumultuous period of conflict between British colonizers and Native American tribes, focusing on the lives of the Hester family, particularly Major Graham Hester and his son Donald. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Pontiac's War, intricately weaving themes of loyalty, cultural clash, and the struggle for survival between the English and indigenous peoples. The opening of the tale introduces Tawtry House, the recent homestead of Major Hester, who, along with his wife, reflects on their newfound life amidst the wilderness of New York. As they enjoy a peaceful summer evening with their two-year-old son, a sudden commotion draws their attention. An injured Ottawa Indian, Songa, fleeing from pursuing warriors, is rescued by Major Hester, setting the stage for future conflicts. This decision marks a crucial turning point for the family and symbolizes the complex relationships that will develop between the characters as the story progresses. The chapter establishes a tense atmosphere with an impending sense of danger, emphasizing the challenges faced by the settlers and the Native Americans during this historical era.
