"Nat, the Trapper and Indian-Fighter" by Paul J. Prescott is a historical novel written in the late 19th century.

The narrative explores his adventures and the challenges he faces while navigating through dangerous territories, blending elements of action, survival, and encounters with various characters, including other trappers, settlers, and the indigenous peoples. At the start of the book, Wild Nat is riding through the plains when he feels a pang of hunger and stops to prepare a meal. However, he quickly finds himself in a precarious situation as he becomes surrounded by a group of hostile Indians.

Meanwhile, we are introduced to other characters, including Wayne Kent and Marion Verne, who become entangled in their own adventures involving encounters with Indians, showcasing the tension and unpredictability of life in the wilderness.
