| 520 | _a"Oscar in Africa" by Harry Castlemon is a fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the adventurous young protagonist, Oscar Preston, as he embarks on a journey to Africa for an expedition to collect natural history specimens for a museum back home in America. As an ambitious and somewhat independent young man, Oscar faces the challenges, treachery, and swindles posed by locals as he strives to prove his worth and succeed in his quest. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Oscar's character and the atmosphere surrounding him as he prepares for his adventure. It begins in a hotel in Maritzburg, where gossip among cattle-dealers reveals their contempt for Oscar, mainly due to his status as a young American embarking on a hunting expedition. This creates an initial tension as he must navigate both the suspicions of the locals and their schemes against him. The narrative showcases Oscar's determination and bravery while hinting at challenges ahead—from dealing with dubious characters to the tougher realities of African travel. As he interacts with the landlord and others in the hotel, we see his confidence grow in the face of skepticism, setting the stage for his upcoming trials in the wilds of Africa.
