| Summary |
"Lost in the Backwoods" by E.C. Kenyon is a fictional adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Cyril Morton, a young boy who finds himself in perilous situations after a train robbery that leads to his father's presumed death. As Cyril navigates the dangers of the backwoods of North America, he grapples with loneliness, fear, and the desire to reunite with his father while encountering various characters along the way. At the start of the narrative, Cyril and his father are aboard a train when they are attacked by a group of robbers. In the chaos of the robbery, Cyril's father is shot, and Cyril is taken away by one of the robbers, Whiterock. Cyril soon finds himself alone in the wilderness, battling despair as he searches for his father. The opening chapters depict his struggles to survive in the forest, his encounters with wild animals, and his emerging faith as he relies on prayer for guidance. Despite the perilous circumstances, Cyril showcases bravery, compassion, and a strong moral compass, setting the stage for his journey of resilience and the quest for familial reconnection.
