520 _a"Bennie Ben Cree: Being the Story of His Adventure to Southward in the Year '62" by Arthur Colton is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on the life and adventures of Ben Cree, a young boy growing up in a maritime setting rich with familial connections and the looming presence of the sea. It explores themes of adventure, identity, and the impact of war, with Ben's journey taking him to the southern waters during a tumultuous period in history. The opening of the novel introduces us to Ben Cree's childhood environment, the Commodore Inn, and the vibrant wharf life that surrounds it. We meet his parents, particularly his mother, whose stern affection casts a somber shadow over Ben's aspirations to become a sailor like his Uncle Benson. The narrative sets the stage for Ben's internal struggles with familial expectations and his strong desire to embrace a seafaring life, all while highlighting the historical backdrop of the war and its effects on those who sail the waters. This initial chapter paints a vivid picture of Ben’s world and foreshadows his eventual adventures and the choices he will have to make as he navigates the challenges ahead.
