| Summary | "The Preacher of Cedar Mountain: A Tale of the Open Country" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the life of Little Jim Hartigan, a young boy living in the emerging town of Links, Ontario, shaped by his Irish heritage and the influence of his mother. The book explores themes of personal growth, cultural heritage, and the struggles of Jim as he navigates through the complexities of childhood trauma, familial legacies, and societal expectations. The opening of the tale introduces us to Links, a rural community characterized by its sawmills, vibrant environment, and the presence of various local characters. Little Jim, the son of the hotel's owner, seeks adventure and displays his natural affinity for horses, all while overshadowed by his mother’s protective influence and the memory of his late father. After a series of events, including a notable incident where Jim rides a colt and faces consequences from his recklessness, the foundation of his character is set through his aspirations, familial ties, and the early teachings he receives from his surroundings. These formative experiences will serve as the backdrop for his journey towards becoming the "Preacher of Cedar Mountain". (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
