Summary "Tom Strong, Lincoln's Scout" by Alfred Bishop Mason is a historical novel written in the early 20th century.

Central to the narrative is the character of Tom Strong, who finds himself embroiled in significant historical events and encounters with notable figures of the time, including John Brown and President Abraham Lincoln. The opening of the book introduces Tom and his father, Thomas Strong, as they journey through Western Maryland in search of land to buy. Their path leads them to an unexpected encounter with armed men, revealing a deeper historical backdrop involving John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. The tension builds as they are taken captive by John Brown and his followers, who are planning a violent insurrection against slavery. The narrative combines elements of adventure and historical drama, immersing readers in the complexities and moral dilemmas of the period, setting the stage for Tom's remarkable journey as a scout during a tumultuous time in American history.
