"With Perry on Lake Erie: A Tale of 1812" by James Otis is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the young characters, Richard Dobbins and Alec Perry, the brother of Commodore Oliver H. Perry, as they experience the war of 1812 and the preparations for naval battles on Lake Erie. This work captures the camaraderie, bravery, and youthful perspective on significant historical events, particularly focusing on the actions that would lead to a crucial American victory. The opening of the book introduces Richard, who recounts the events of the war from his viewpoint as he, along with Alec, helps prepare for battle while navigating the threats posed by the British forces. It highlights their daily lives in Presque Isle, the building of gunboats, and the urgency of their scouting missions. As they venture out on the ice, their bravado leads them into dangerous territory, culminating in their capture by the British—an experience that teaches them about courage, responsibility, and the stakes of war. This introduction not only sets the stage for their adventures but also emphasizes the moral complexities and youthful ambitions entwined with the unfolding history.
