"Young Lion of the Woods" by Thomas Barlow Smith is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book takes place during early colonial days in Canada, particularly focusing on the experiences of Captain Godfrey and his family as they navigate the challenges of settling in the New World amidst tensions with Native Americans. The narrative prominently features themes of loyalty, courage, and the trials faced by early colonists in their pursuit of survival and prosperity. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Captain Godfrey's struggles and determination as he begins his new life in Nova Scotia. Beginning in the year 1765, Godfrey embarks on a treacherous journey that includes shipwrecks and encounters with Indigenous peoples. As the tale unfolds, Godfrey's family must contend with various dangers, including threats from angry natives and stark challenges during their attempts to establish a homestead. Through their steadfastness and cleverness, particularly emphasized in the strong character of Mrs. Godfrey, the story sets the stage for an epic saga of perseverance, with deep insights into the early settlement experiences that shaped the landscape of Canada.
