| Summary | "The Kentucky Ranger" by Edward T. Curnick is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Jasper Very, a prominent early pioneer preacher in Kentucky, as he navigates the challenges of his faith, community, and the tumultuous environment of the backwoods during a time of moral struggle. The opening of the narrative effectively sets the scene for the central character's journey. We are introduced to Jasper Very, who is depicted as a tall, strong backwoods preacher, characterized by his firm yet kind demeanor. The story begins with a humorous encounter where Jasper is mocked by a group of young people returning from a camp meeting; this sets the tone for his struggles against mockery and moral degradation in a community often plagued by vice. As we learn about his upbringing in a harsh environment called Rogues' Harbor, the groundwork for his transformation and subsequent efforts to uplift his community is laid. The text beautifully weaves elements of faith, morality, and the social challenges of the time, hinting at the deep themes that will be explored throughout the novel.
