Summary "Jim Long-Knife" by Florance Walton Taylor is a historical novel written in the mid-20th century. The story is set during the American Revolutionary War and focuses on the life of thirteen-year-old Jim Hudson as he navigates the challenges of frontier life in 1777 Kentucky. It explores themes of survival, cultural interactions, and the struggles faced by settlers against Native American tribes, as seen through Jim's experiences and his family's challenges. At the start of the narrative, we meet Jim Hudson and his parents, who are settlers working hard to cultivate their land while being on high alert for potential threats from Native Americans. One day, they discover a young Indian boy named Wahbunou in need of help, leading to a mixture of kindness and tension between the Hudsons and the local tribes. As Jim's family grapples with the realities of frontier life, including the dangers posed by hostile tribes and their own dreams of land ownership, readers are introduced to Jim's determination and bravery in the face of adversity. The opening sets the stage for the unfolding story of conflict, friendship, and the quest for identity amid the backdrop of the turbulent American frontier.
