Summary: "The Road to Paris: A Story of Adventure" by Robert Neilson Stephens is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the early life of Richard Wetheral, a young man of adventurous spirit, beginning with his childhood in Pennsylvania during the mid-18th century. It promises a blend of exploration, the challenges faced by settlers, and an overarching theme of longing for distant lands, particularly Paris. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the Wetheral family, who live on the frontier during a turbulent period marked by Indian uprisings and settler conflicts. Young Dick Wetheral exhibits an adventurous nature from a young age, which sets the stage for his later ambitions. The opening chapters detail his family’s life, the setting in the wilderness, and Dick’s early experiences, including a notable episode where his curiosity leads him astray into the woods. These elements establish the foundation for Dick's character development and set up the narrative of adventure and discovery that unfolds as he grows. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
