| Summary | "Ruby Roland, the Girl Spy; or, Simon Kenton’s Protege" by Frederick Whittaker is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the early period of American frontier life and follows the adventures of Ruby Roland, a young girl with ties to Native American tribes, and Simon Kenton, a famed frontiersman and scout. Together, they navigate the dangers of the wilderness, confront hostile forces, and unveil the greater political tensions of the time. The opening of the novel introduces Simon Kenton, who is initially engaged in a cautious maneuver across the Kentucky River while scouting for dangers, highlighting his experience and instincts as a ranger. As he navigates the treacherous landscape, he unexpectedly encounters another scout, leading to a tense moment of mistaken identity, which underscores the perilous nature of their environment. Shortly after, the narrative introduces Ruby Roland, who asserts her agency and bravery, prompting tension as both she and Kenton face the lurking threats of warfare and treachery. The chapter sets a gripping tone, intertwining themes of survival, identity, and the complexities of relationships in a tumultuous era. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
