| 520 | _a"The Watchers of the Plains: A Tale of the Western Prairies" by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Western American plains and features characters connected to the struggles between settlers and Native Americans, particularly focusing on the interactions within the Rosebud Reservation. Central to the narrative are characters Nevil Steyne, a morally ambiguous white man living near the Reservation, and the conflicted relationships that develop between him and the indigenous characters, including those tied to the chief, Big Wolf. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Nevil Steyne, who receives a letter from his estranged brother, Landor, revealing a past filled with family conflict and potentially igniting tensions for their reunion. As Steyne contemplates this letter, he experiences a mixture of anger and resentment, foreshadowing his deeper involvement with the Native American community, particularly with Big Wolf and his daughter, Wanaha. The opening portion establishes a vivid sense of place, highlighting the isolation of Steyne's dwelling and his complex motivations, hinting at the volatile socio-political landscape that is about to unfold with the presence of both white settlers and Native American tribes.
