The Crossing
The Crossing is a historical novel by Winston Churchill, published in 1904, that explores the American frontier during the westward expansion. The story follows young Davy Trimble and his father, Alec, as they navigate life in the Appalachian wilderness and confront the challenges posed by settlers and Native Americans. Notable for being Churchill's last historical novel, it reflects on themes of exploration, survival, and the impact of war on childhood innocence. The book was a best-seller in its year and includes illustrations by Sydney Adamson and Lilian Bayliss.
