E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "The Boy Settlers: A Story of Early Times in Kansas" by Noah Brooks is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a group of settlers, particularly focusing on three boys—Charlie and Alexander Howell, and their cousin Oscar Bryant—who are inspired by tales of bravery and adventure from their elders to migrate westward to Kansas during the tumultuous era of settlement and the struggle over slavery in the territories. At the start of the narrative, the boys are introduced in Dixon, Illinois, where they absorb stories of the past, particularly tales of the Black Hawk War. As tensions rise over slavery in Kansas, their fathers decide to relocate the families westward to seek better opportunities and to take part in the fight for freedom. The opening chapters set the stage for their journey, highlighting their motivations, the political backdrop of the time, and their initial preparations as they prepare to embark on this transformative adventure, filled with hopes, dreams, and the stirring call to participate in shaping a new society.
