The Hidden Children

Robert W. Chambers' The Hidden Children (1914), a tale set among the Iroquois confederacy. OPENING LINES: In the middle of the Bedford Road we three drew bridle. Boyd lounged in his reeking saddle, gazing at the tavern and at what remained of the tavern sign, which seemed to have been a new one, yet now dangled mournfully by one hinge, shot to splinters. Because this novel is not in Chambers's supernatural style but a historial tale about the Iriquois indians and their rise and fall seen though the eyes of a while man who lives with them, we have located a zipped copy of the Gutenberg Project text of the novel here.
