Summary "A Little Maid of Ticonderoga" by Alice Turner Curtis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the American Revolution, the story introduces readers to Faith Carew, a ten-year-old girl living in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Faith's adventures begin with the arrival of her village friend, Esther Eldridge, whom she hopes to entertain, but tensions quickly rise with the surprise appearance of a bear in their kitchen, indicating the dangers of their wilderness home. At the start of the book, Faith eagerly awaits the visit of Esther, excited to show her the wonders of the wilderness. However, the visit takes an unexpected turn when a bear enters their cabin, causing chaos and panic. Amid these events, the young girls' differing attitudes and the tension between them become apparent, as Faith tries to engage Esther with tales of nature and the vibrant life surrounding her, while Esther seems disinterested and aloof. The opening establishes not only the backdrop of the American Revolution and the rugged wilderness but also introduces themes of friendship, courage, and the challenges of coexistence between different backgrounds, setting the stage for Faith's growth and the potential for adventure to come.
