Summary "The Lure of the Mississippi" by D. Lange is a historical novel written in the early 20th century, specifically around 1917. Set against the backdrop of the Mississippi River and the Minnesota River during the tumult of the Civil War, the story introduces a cast of characters including Colonel John C. Pemberton and a group of civilians, notably young brothers Tim and Bill Ferguson, as they navigate a world rife with both military conflict and Native American strife. The narrative promises an exploration of bravery, survival, and the shifting dynamics of power during a critical period in American history. At the start of the tale, the stage is set in Spring 1861, as the Civil War begins to unfold. The narrative opens with Colonel Pemberton preparing to depart with his troops from Fort Ridgely to Washington, igniting the fears and aspirations of nearby Sioux Indians who see this as their chance to reclaim lost lands. Among the characters, we meet the Ferguson brothers, who encounter various adventures aboard the steamship Fanny Harris as it navigates the treacherous waters of the flooded Minnesota River. As excitement and dangers abound, the boys join seasoned explorers like the old trapper Barker and the Sioux scout Tatanka, laying the groundwork for their challenges ahead amid impending conflict on the frontier.
