Withrow is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story chronicles the experiences of the young Methodist preacher, Neville Trueman, during the tumultuous War of 1812, focusing on the conflicts and trials faced by early Canadian settlers. The narrative seeks to capture the patriotic spirit and resilience of Canadians who upheld their faith and moral convictions amidst the tragedy of war, with Trueman emerging as a key character dedicated to his calling even as tensions rise between American and British loyalties. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Neville Trueman as he travels along the Niagara River, reflecting on the impending war. His attire marks him as a travelling preacher, and through vivid imagery, the author paints both the beauty and the foreboding nature of the landscape. As Neville visits the Drayton family, he engages in conversations that reveal the local anxieties regarding the war and its impact on their lives. The chapter emphasizes Neville's internal conflict as an American-born preacher in a British colony, committed to providing spiritual guidance to those in need while grappling with his identity amidst the brewing conflict. Through interactions with characters like Squire Drayton and his daughter Katherine, the groundwork for the unfolding story and its exploration of themes such as faith, loyalty, and sacrifice during perilous times is established.
