The Traitor Spy

1879 · 98 pages

This Beadle and Adams dime novel by W. J. Hamilton follows Putnam's Rangers during the French and Indian War. The story opens at a camp north of Fort Edward where Israel Putnam's riflemen prepare their evening meal. Among them, Sergeant Willis Seaton discusses romantic troubles with private Charley Brady, who suspects fellow ranger Stephen Bates of being a traitor—Bates has suspicious connections to Montreal and Quebec. Bates is also romantically involved with Ada, causing Seaton jealousy. The narrative introduces Wild Jim, a mentally unbalanced hunter with prematurely white hair who obsessively searches for his wife Mary, whom he believes the Mohawks captured two years prior. In reality, she was killed, but Jim's fractured mind cannot accept this. He brings game to camp while muttering about finding her, and Willis recounts Jim's heroic but reckless combat against Indians. The narrative explores themes of frontier warfare, loyalty, romance, and psychological trauma.
