Summary "Viimeinen Algonquini: Kertomus" by Felix Lilla is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the conflicts between early European settlers in America and the native Indian tribes, focusing on themes of survival, loyalty, and revenge. It delves into the turbulent period marked by the interactions and hostilities between these two cultures. The story follows Gisbert van Delft, a young settler who learns of an impending Indian attack while returning from a hunting trip. After a series of chilling events, he discovers that his beloved cousin Gesina and her brothers have been taken by Mohawk Indians. With the help of Unkas, the last of the Algonquins, Gisbert embarks on a daring rescue mission. As they confront the Mohawks, Gisbert's resolve to save Gesina drives the action, culminating in a tense battle that blends adventure with themes of friendship and betrayal. The narrative captures the harsh realities of frontier life, the spirit of vengeance, and the complex relationships between different cultures during a time of conflict.
