The story is centered around the experiences of Simon Kenton, a prominent figure during the American frontier era, and the struggles he faced while helping settlers navigate the dangers of the wilderness amidst conflicts with Native American tribes and British forces. The narrative is framed through the perspective of Louis Nelson, a young boy who learns valuable lessons in woodcraft and bravery from Kenton. At the start of the story, we find Louis reflecting on the harsh realities of frontier life in 1778 after he encounters the seasoned pioneer Simon Kenton. The narrative introduces Louis's longing for vengeance following the death of his father at the hands of Indians and his struggle to protect his mother from similar fates. After a surprise attack by Native Americans, Louis, Simon, and his mother must strategize their defense while contemplating their next steps. As the plot unfolds, we see Kenton’s influence on Louis and the bond forged through shared peril, setting the stage for the adventures to come as they navigate both the wilderness and the intrigues of colonial America.
