| Summary | "Ticonderoga: A Story of Early Frontier Life in the Mohawk Valley" by G. P. R. James is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book centers on the life of Mr. Prevost and his family, particularly his children, Edith and Walter, as they navigate life on the early American frontier. The narrative unfolds with themes of survival, family dynamics, and interactions with both Native American tribes and the broader societal implications of frontier life. The opening of the story introduces the Prevost family living in a modest home in the Mohawk Valley, where they practice openness and hospitality despite being in a potentially dangerous environment. Mr. Prevost is seen as a man who longs for the remnants of civilization in the wilderness, balancing his domestic duties with raising his children amid the unpredictability of frontier life. The arrival of a handsome young stranger invites curiosity and interaction among the family, especially with the spirited Edith and her protective brother, Walter. As the family adjusts to new visitors and potential threats from Native American tribes, the groundwork is laid for deeper explorations of relationships and conflicts that precede the unfolding drama of the frontier.
