Malaeska: The Indian Wife of the White Hunter

Ann Sophia Stephens

Malaeska: The Indian Wife Of The White Hunter is a novel written by Ann S. Stephens. The book tells the story of Malaeska, a Native American woman who falls in love with a white hunter named Jasper Western. Despite the cultural differences and prejudices of the time, the two marry and have a child together. However, their happiness is short-lived as Jasper is killed, leaving Malaeska to raise their child alone. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and cultural clashes in the early American frontier. It was originally published in 1839 as a serial in the Ladies' Companion magazine and is considered to be the first dime novel, a genre of inexpensive paperback novels that became popular in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
