The Indian chief Wahnotee
The Indian chief Wahnotee hunts and kills the antagonist at the end of this drama based on a novel by Mayne Reid and set in Louisiana. Due to crowd distaste for the ending in which the female protagonist commits suicide, the playwright wrote an alternate ending. The play centers on the daughter of Judge Peyton and the attempts to save from the evil M'Closy, both the Judge's plantation and Zoe. First produced at the Winter Garden Theatre the week after John Brown's execution --for 10 points-- name this melodrama by Dion Boucicault centering on a freed slave who is one-eighth black.
