About this eBook

Author Kingston, William Henry Giles, 1814-1880
Title In New Granada; Or, Heroes and Patriots
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "In New Granada; Or, Heroes and Patriots" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative follows the adventures of English characters embroiled in the tumultuous wars of independence from Spanish rule in South America. Central to the story are Dr. Andrew Sinclair and his ward, Dicky Duff, who face various challenges as they traverse the rugged landscapes while contending with Spanish forces. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a rich tapestry of individuals and historical contexts. It introduces Dr. Andrew Sinclair, who, after being captured by Spanish forces, navigates various precarious situations with his companions Dicky and Paul Lobo. Their journey leads them from captivity in Panama to brief reprieves that allow them glimpses of the local richness and culture. Kingston crafts a historical backdrop steeped in the struggles against tyranny, hinted at through the character interactions and early developments, particularly highlighting themes of bravery, loyalty, and the fervent desire for freedom among the colonists. The engaging opening not only immerses the reader in the historical setting but also primes them for an adventurous exploration of patriotism and camaraderie as the story unfolds.
