It was a widely held belief that the frontier was open for the taking. A belief not only incorrect, but simply one of ignorance. Everell Flecher’s youthful imagination and inaccurate education in Hope Leslie is fractured and set straight by a single story.

Even when mankind fell into sin, God made a plan to redeem his children by sending his Son Jesus to die on the cross for everyone’s sins.

It is by Christ’s example that sets us apart from the world. As of now I do now know exactly what my…
