Summary "Strange Stories of the Great River: The Adventures of a Boy Explorer" by Johnston Grosvenor is a historical fiction work likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around a young boy, Anthony Auguelle, who accompanies famous French explorers like Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette on their quest to discover and explore the mighty Mississippi River. The book offers a blend of adventure, cultural encounters, and insights into the early days of exploration in the New World. The opening portion introduces readers to Anthony and the vibrant setting of the Great River, where he finds himself amidst a cacophony of trade, music, and anticipation for a special festival day. The narrative exhibits rich imagery of the natural landscape and the diverse cultures of the time, such as the French traders and the indigenous tribes. As the story unfolds, Anthony's character is revealed through his interactions, notably his musical talent, playful spirit, and his role in mediating between the native tribes and the French explorers. The volume captures the spirit of adventure and the historical backdrop of the Mississippi River’s exploration, setting the stage for Anthony’s exciting journey ahead.
