Synopsis "The Hidden Children (Western Classic): The Heart-Warming Saga of an Unusual Friendship during the American Revolution"

It was the time of the American Revolution where both the Americans and the British were taking help from the Native Americans to win the war. The west was yet to become the west as we know of it today and primarily meant the entire area to the west of the river Hudson. In such times, going against all conventions, a young American ensign befriends a Mohican man and holds deep respect for the latter's belief. But what will happen to their friendship and where will the war take them? Robert W. Chambers was an American artist and fiction writer, best known for his book of short stories entitled "The King in Yellow" which greatly inspired H. P. Lovecraft. He was one of the few authors who represented the Native Americans in a positive light in his works.

American writer known for his tales of horror and mystery. He published The King in Yellow (1895), a collection of short stories that influenced fantasy and horror literature, with elements that later inspired writers like H.P. Lovecraft. Although he initially excelled in macabre and supernatural fiction, his career took a turn towards romantic and historical novels, with titles like The Tracer of Lost Persons (1906) and The Dark Star (1917)

His work combines cosmic horror with the literary decadence of the late 19th century. The King in Yellow remains his most recognized book, particularly for its impact on horror mythology. Despite having written numerous novels, his legacy focuses on the influence he had on the horror genre.
