Book Overview

Tokeah V1: Or The White Rose is a novel written by Charles Sealsfield and first published in 1829. The book is set in the early 19th century and tells the story of a young woman named Tokeah, who is of mixed Native American and European heritage. Tokeah is raised by her Native American mother and becomes a skilled hunter and warrior. She meets and falls in love with an American soldier named Henry, but their relationship is complicated by the cultural differences between them and the ongoing conflict between Native Americans and European settlers. The novel explores themes of identity, cultural clash, and the impact of colonization on indigenous peoples. Sealsfield's vivid descriptions of the American frontier and his portrayal of Tokeah as a strong and independent female character make this book an important work of early American literature.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
