In the Wilds of Florida: A Tale of Warfare and Hunting
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"In the Wilds of Florida: A Tale of Warfare and Hunting" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows Maurice Kearney, a young Irish school-leaver, who, facing uncertainty about his future and family debts, sets out for Florida to visit relatives and assist his uncle, Nicholas Kearney. The setting encompasses the tumultuous backdrop of dispersed native tribes and the potential for conflict, leading into thrilling hunts and the challenges of survival. At the start of the tale, Maurice contemplates his lack of direction in life after leaving school and learns of his uncle's plight as he faces declining health and concerns for his family's safety amidst the unrest with local Indians. As the narrative unfolds, we follow Maurice and his father as they prepare for a voyage to America, encountering various characters on board the ship, including the brave Maulins Rochford and the insightful naturalist Monsieur Lejoillie. The group faces perilous situations and makes memorable connections, setting an exciting tone for their upcoming adventures in the wilds of Florida. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
