Lee M. Pike is a children's adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young Panamanian boy named Vasco Barretas, who is of Spanish and Indian descent, as he navigates life during a transformative period in Panama's history, marked by the building of the Panama Canal. The book aims to provide insight into the cultural and historical context of Panama while following Vasco's adventures with his American cousin Harlan Webster. The opening of the story introduces Vasco, a boy with a natural curiosity for excitement and a propensity for laziness, living in the midst of a post-revolution Panama. With a backdrop of recent political change, the narrative captures Vasco's eagerness to witness a military parade honoring his father, a lieutenant in the new National Guard. As he seeks a vantage point alongside his American friend Harlan, the boys embark on a journey through the streets of Panama, using their resourcefulness to navigate challenges, revealing their camaraderie and setting the stage for the adventures that lie ahead. The story promises a blend of historical adventure and relatable childhood experiences against the vibrant cultural landscape of early 20th-century Panama.
