Summary "The Frontier Fort; Stirring Times in the North-West Territory of British America" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the context of early settler life along the Canadian frontier, filled with adventurous characters and the tension of navigating both the beauty and dangers of the wilderness. The main characters introduced include Reginald Loraine, a spirited young Englishman seeking adventure, and Hector Mackintosh, who is returning home to his father, Captain Mackintosh, at Fort Duncan, a strategic outpost. The opening of the novel sets the stage as a party of travelers traverse through the lush and vibrant prairie landscape towards Fort Duncan, reflecting on its rich potential and the challenges they may face, including encounters with Native Americans. As they journey, they are joined by characters such as the jovial Doctor McCrab and the knowledgeable guide Jacques Leblanc, who navigate various incidents emblematic of frontier life, from buffalo hunts to omens of impending dangers like prairie fires and swarming locusts. Tension mounts at the prospect of native raids and the imminent threats posed by the wilderness, foreshadowing the adventurous and perilous experiences of the group as they approach their destination.
