| Summary |
"With Washington in the West; or, A Soldier Boy's Battles in the Wilderness" by Edward Stratemeyer is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the colonial period in America and follows the adventures of David Morris, a young Pioneer, as he encounters significant historical figures and events, notably George Washington, while navigating the challenges of frontier life and the conflicts between English and French settlers. The opening of the novel introduces us to David Morris, a fourteen-year-old boy living with his uncle and his family near Will's Creek, Virginia. As David eagerly awaits news of his father, who has ventured west to establish a trading post, he meets White Buffalo, a Delaware Indian, who brings letters and updates from his father. Through Uncle Joe's encouragement, David learns about the mounting tensions between English traders and the French in the Ohio Valley, foreshadowing the conflict to come. The beginning sets the stage for David's transition from a farm boy to an active participant in the turbulent events of his time, including his association with Washington and the looming threats that will impact his family and the region.
