Summary "The Silver Arrow" by Elbert Hubbard is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. This book explores themes of love, ambition, and conflict during the age of exploration in the late 16th century. It primarily focuses on the relationship between Sir Walter Raleigh and Eleanor White against the backdrop of Queen Elizabeth I's court and the early English colonization of America. The story follows Sir Walter Raleigh, a man of considerable ambition who finds himself entangled in both political maneuvering and a romantic connection with Eleanor White, the daughter of a court fool. After being banished by Queen Elizabeth, Raleigh's plans for colonization are carried out through the forced relocation of John White, Eleanor, and Ananias Dare to Roanoke Island. The tale progresses to illustrate Eleanor as she is raised by the Croatoan tribe and eventually becomes known as White Doe. She develops strong ties with the native people and emerges as a leader and protector, culminating in her dramatic confrontation with a white man who attempts to claim her, resulting in a tragic ending tied to the titular silver arrow, symbolizing her defiance and ultimate fate.
