| Summary |
"At the Fall of Montreal; Or, A Soldier Boy's Final Victory" by Edward Stratemeyer is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set during the French and Indian War and follows young soldiers David and Henry Morris as they navigate treacherous circumstances, confronting enemies and making critical choices while serving in the Colonial army. The story encapsulates themes of bravery, loyalty, and the struggles faced by individuals during wartime. At the start of the tale, the cousins, who are stationed at Fort Niagara in July 1759, discuss fishing and the recent military activities. Their camaraderie is a focal point, revealing their connection to family back home amid the looming dangers of war. As they engage in fishing, they remain vigilant for enemies, foreshadowing the violence that inevitably erupts when they encounter wounded Indians, leading to their involvement in a broader conflict between the English and French forces. The opening scene sets a tone of adventure, suggesting the boys’ forthcoming challenges as historical events unfold around them. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
