"MOHAWKS: A Novel, Volume 1 of 3" by M. E. Braddon is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story opens with the discovery of a dead man and an orphaned baby on Flamestead Common, setting the stage for a narrative that intertwines themes of fate, social status, and human compassion. The main characters introduced are the farmer, Matthew Bowman, and Squire Bosworth, whose life appears to
be profoundly affected by the fate of the nameless child. The beginning of the novel paints a vivid image of the setting while establishing an emotional conflict through the farmer's discovery of a dead wayfarer and the sleeping infant nearby. As the narrative unfolds, Squire Bosworth, who is depicted as a miser and a misanthrope, takes an unexpected interest in adopting the child, drawn by a mixture of self-interest and a desire for companionship for his own daughter. The opening portion skillfully introduces themes of social class, identity, and the consequences of choices made by the characters, immersing readers into a world rife with historical context and personal drama.
