Hobomok, A Tale of Early Times is the provocative story of an upper-class white woman who marries an Indian chief, has a child, then leaves him- with the child- for another man. This novel, originally published in 1824, is a powerful first among anti-patriarchal and anti-racist novels in American literature. In addition, this collection contains seven remarkable short stories; an extract on Indian women from Child's groundbreaking History of the Condition of Women in Various Ages and Nations (1835); a selection from her best-selling volume of journalistic sketches, Lettres from New-York (1843); and her eloquent Appeal for Indians includes three new stories- "The Church in the Wilderness", " Willie Wharton," and "The Indians"- as well as explanatory notes and an updated bibliography.Belles LettresA courageous work of fiction... a landmark.
