"A Son of Courage" by Archie P. McKishnie is a novel written in the early 20th century. It depicts the experiences of a boy named Billy Wilson, exploring themes of youth, adventure, and the challenges of rural life. The story revolves around Billy and his family, particularly his relationships with his stepmother Mary and his brother Anson, as they navigate the ups and downs of life in a close-knit community. The opening of the book introduces us to the Wilson household, where tensions between Billy's stepmother, Mary, and his father, Tom Wilson, are palpable. Mary expresses her frustrations about their challenging life, revealing her deep care for the community while also feeling unappreciated. The reader also meets Billy, a mischievous boy who gets into trouble with his antics, such as scaring neighbors with pranks involving animals. As the chapter unfolds, we see glimpses of Billy's adventurous spirit and his interactions with his step-brother Anson and friends, hinting at the escapades that will follow.
