Summary: "Longshanks" by Stephen W. Meader is a historical novel written in the late 1920s. The story follows a young boy named Thaddeus "Tad" Hopkins as he embarks on a journey from Wheeling Town to New Orleans in the company of a steamboat crew. Set against the backdrop of the American frontier, the book seems to explore themes of adventure, personal growth, and the challenges one faces in a rapidly changing world. The opening of the narrative introduces Tad as he arrives in Wheeling, filled with excitement about the adventures that lie ahead. Upon reaching the General Jackson Inn, he faces the initial challenge of finding a place to stay; the tavern-keeper is less than helpful. As tension builds, we see glimpses of Tad's character—his resourcefulness and determination to travel south to meet his father, whose letter has sparked this journey. From meeting various characters in the tavern to securing passage on the steamboat Ohio Belle, the beginning sets a vibrant scene filled with colorful descriptions of frontier life and hints at the adventures, along with potential dangers, that Tad will undoubtedly encounter as the story unfolds.
