Book two: The Red Prophet

Red Prophet is the second volume in the Tales of Alvin Maker. Plenty of book's focus is on the Reds (Native Americans), their connection to the land (which they treat as a sentient being) and their struggle to stop the transgressions of White men, who only bring destruction and decay. Beside Alvin, the book features two other main protagonists – one-eyed Lolla-Wossiky (who later becomes the prophet) and his brother, Ta-Kumsaw. The events of this book overlap with the events from the first volume and are presented from a different perspective.
