Kiddie the Scout
E-text prepared by Al Haines
"Kiddie the Scout" by Robert Leighton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Kiddie, a skilled scout who has returned to the Wild West after spending time in England, to find himself embroiled in conflicts with marauding Indians and other frontier challenges. The narrative promises adventure, camaraderie, and the exploration of Kiddie's abilities as he reintegrates into life on the frontier. At the start of the novel, a sense of tension is established as Old Man Birkenshaw and his companions prepare for a possible attack by a band of Indians under the leadership of a chief named Broken Feather. The men discuss Kiddie's remarkable scouting skills and express concern about his absence. Soon, they hear a mysterious rider approaching, who ultimately turns out to be Kiddie himself, returning just in time to thwart an Indian raid. The chapter sets the stage for the ensuing conflicts and Kiddie's dynamic role in them, along with his attempt to bridge his noble heritage and the harsh realities of life on the plains.
