American revolution tale of a young man enchanted with the thought of the Ojibwa spirit Windandingo (no such character in my experience, although there is a Windigo that might serve a similar function.) Wanting to help with the war effort, he is encouraged, because of his age and gentle nature, to stay home and help out on the home front. His relationship with this Windandingo is such that he can call upon this spirit for help when he needs it, for it is a spirit concerned with justice. When the British arrive in his town at his family’s hotel, he has just the right friend at hand to help .
