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.

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.
