Cousin Aleck: Or Boy Life Among The Indians is a book written by Francis Robert Goulding and first published in 1871. The story follows the adventures of a young boy named Aleck, who is sent to live with his cousin, a trader in the American West. Aleck quickly becomes fascinated with the Native American tribes in the area and begins to learn their language and customs. He forms close friendships with several young Native American boys and becomes deeply immersed in their way of life. As Aleck becomes more involved with the tribe, he also becomes aware of the tensions between the Native Americans and the white settlers who are encroaching on their land. He witnesses several conflicts between the two groups and struggles to reconcile his loyalty to his new friends with his own identity as a white person. Throughout the book, Aleck's experiences provide a window into the complex relationships between the different groups of people living in the American West during this period of history.
