Summary "Project Gutenberg Complete Works of Winston Churchill" by Winston Churchill is a collection of literary works written during the early 20th century. The selected opening portion introduces the first novel in the collection, "The Crossing," which follows the life of a boy named Davy, who grows up in the wilds of North Carolina under the care of his enigmatic father, a frontiersman. The narrative blends elements of adventure and personal discovery, captured through Davy's youthful experiences and encounters with historical figures, such as Daniel Boone. The beginning of "The Crossing" sets the scene in a rustic cabin, highlighting Davy’s early life filled with the sounds of nature and the wisdom passed down from his father, who instills in him a love for reading and storytelling. The opening chapters develop Davy's character and his close relationship with his father, juxtaposed with the broader backdrop of the tension and conflict of the era, hinting at the impact of external events like wars on their lives. As Davy navigates his childhood filled with adventures, the arrival of a stranger—who turns out to be Boone—brings a series of revelations and aspirations, foreshadowing future journeys into uncharted territories.
