Summary "Mass' George: A Boy's Adventures in the Old Savannah" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. It follows the life of George Bruton, the son of Captain Bruton, as they navigate life on a plantation in Georgia during the mid-18th century. The story delves into themes of friendship, adventure, and moral dilemmas surrounding slavery, as George develops a bond with Pomp, a young boy who is enslaved on their plantation. The opening of the novel introduces young George and his father, Captain Bruton, who relocates to Georgia after the death of George's mother. The narrative establishes their new life amidst numerous adventures and challenges, including encounters with alligators, floods, and Indigenous peoples. Through dialogue and the evolving relationship between George and Pomp, the story hints at complexities involving the plantation life and the realities of slavery, as well as the friendships that blossom despite societal constraints. The vibrant depiction of George's early days encapsulates an era of exploration, danger, and the struggle for identity in a tumultuous setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
