The gold rock of the Chippewa

"The Gold Rock of the Chippewa" by D. Lange, is a historical adventure taking place in the summer of 1775 around Lake Superior, following two young American brothers, Bruce and Ray Henley, as they learn about the natural world and Native American customs. The story highlights bravery, friendship, and survival when Bruce and Ray meet the Chippewa tribe while looking for his friend. Early on, a Chippewa council gathers to discuss the fate of the two, with clashing opinions between Hamogeesik, who wants revenge on the English, and Ganawa, who believes in protecting guests; after the council decides to take in Bruce and Ray, they become part of the tribe and go explore the vast, chilly Lake Superior. This sets the scene for their adventures in the wild while also hinting at danger, like the vengeful Hamogeesik, and showing the beauty and risks of nature.
