THUMBNAIL: Young boys and their animals learn to survive together during the Esopus uprising of 1663.
SHORT SYNOPSIS: Maxkii-Wiixcheew discovers the meaning of his spirit name (‘Red Wolfe’ in English) as he and his new Huguenot friends Abraham and Isaac learn to communicate, using the ancient (and today nearly extinct) Lunaape language, while they and their faithful companions, two red wolves and an ox named Step, also learn how to live through the murderous rampage of Captain Kregier and his men during the Esopus uprising of 1663 in New Amsterdam (today known as New York).

B Shawn Clark is an author and amateur poet who works inside a secluded ‘Man Cave’ along Gottfried Creek in the sleepy seaside town of Englewood, Florida. There he claims to have reprised the ways of Thoreau, surrounded by nature and wildlife (not counting those rowdy kids next door). Maxkii-Wiixcheew, the Story of Red-Wolfe, is a fictional account of an historical event taking place in 1663, known as the Second Esopus ‘War’, when the author’s ancestor, having been taken captive by a community of indigenous people known as the Esopus, learned to speak their language.
