Summary "George at the Wheel; Or, Life in the Pilot-House" by Harry Castlemon is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of George Ackerman, a boy who navigates the dangers of the Texas frontier while dealing with family intrigue and encounters with cattle thieves. The novel promises a blend of excitement and conflict as George tries to protect his ranch and his interests against those who wish to undermine him. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to George and his cousin Ned, who are discussing the troubling events that have unfolded since George was captured by a gang of cattle thieves. Throughout their dialogue, it becomes apparent that there are deeper family dynamics at play, particularly concerning Uncle John, George's guardian, and his potential motives against his charge. The opening sets up a tension-filled backdrop, placing George in peril while hinting at an ongoing scheme related to his inheritance. As George navigates his challenges, readers are positioned to witness not only a thrilling adventure but also the evolution of his character against the adversities posed by both external threats and internal family conflict.
