About this eBook

Author Bower, B. M., 1871-1940
Title Good Indian
Credits Produced by Ken Smidge, and David Widger
Summary "Good Indian" by B. M. Bower is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American West and follows the lives of Peaceful Hart and his family, highlighting the interactions and relationships between Native Americans and the settlers, particularly focusing on the character of Grant Imsen, who navigates his identity as a half-breed living on the Hart ranch. The opening of "Good Indian" introduces us to the Peaceful Hart ranch and its owner, an aging gold prospector who has settled into ranch life, raising his five boisterous sons. The narrative explores the contrasting personalities within the Hart family and introduces Grant Imsen, referred to as "Good Indian," who feels caught between two worlds as he interacts with the Hart family and local Indigenous communities. The chapter presents a rich description of the ranch setting, the dynamics within the Hart household, the relationships with the local Indigenous people, and the complexities of identity faced by Grant. We witness humor, tension, and warmth as innuendos and lighthearted banter hint at deeper themes of acceptance, friendship, and cultural clashes in the unfolding narrative.
