| Summary | "The Keepers of the Trail: A Story of the Great Woods" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book is set in the wilderness of Kentucky and follows a group of frontier scouts, including the main character Henry Ware, as they navigate the dangers posed by Native American tribes during a time of conflict. The narrative captures the rich tapestry of nature and the thrill of adventure as the characters seek to protect their settlements from impending threats. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Henry Ware, who is deeply connected to the forest he roams, embodying the spirit of a skilled woodsman. He relishes the beauty of his natural surroundings and engages in light-hearted encounters with various wildlife before rejoining his comrades: Paul Cotter, Shif'less Sol, Long Jim Hart, and Silent Tom Ross. Together, they are tasked with acting as keepers of the trail and guarding against hostile Native American raids. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that their vigil is critical in the face of growing tensions, and the group must remain alert to the dangers lurking in the vast, primeval woods.
