| Summary | "The Eyes of the Woods: A Story of the Ancient Wilderness" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the untamed wilderness of Kentucky during the era of early American frontier life and follows a group of brave young men as they navigate the dangers of the wilderness and conflict with Native American tribes. Central characters include Henry Ware, Paul Cotter, Shif'less Sol Hyde, Silent Tom Ross, and Long Jim Hart, who band together to survive various threats while relying on their skills and camaraderie. The opening of the novel introduces a tense atmosphere as the group of friends seeks refuge from an invading storm in a secluded hollow. As they settle in, they discuss the dwindling supply of ammunition and the imminent threat posed by Native American warriors seeking revenge for previous skirmishes. Henry, the main protagonist, remains vigilant and confident despite the circumstances, reflecting on their need to stay alert to the dangers around them. The narrative sets the stage for adventure and survival, hinting at both external conflicts with Native tribes and the internal dynamics of the group's relationships as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
