"Cole of Spyglass Mountain" by Arthur Preston Hankins is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Joshua Cole, who finds himself at odds with authority figures such as his schoolteacher and father. As he navigates the challenges of childhood, including his own curiosity and rebellious spirit, Joshua's adventures lead him to contemplate running away to the West, seeking freedom and adventure in a new life. At the start of the book, the plot establishes a snapshot of Joshua's world as he participates in a bet with his friends while observing a slug's unique descending ability. However, the narrative quickly intensifies as Joshua faces harsh realities at home and school, indicative of a troubled family life. The opening chapters illustrate his bond with his younger brother, Lester, and spotlight his defiance against their oppressive father and school authority. Through a mix of boyish experimentation, rebellion, and an aspiration for independence, Joshua's journey introduces themes of courage, brotherhood, and the quest for personal identity, setting the stage for his future adventures.
