Description
Shine Terrill: A Sea Island Ranger is a novel written by Kirk Munroe and first published in 1899. The story is set on the Sea Islands off the coast of Georgia, where a young African American man named Shine Terrill works as a ranger, protecting the wildlife and natural resources of the islands. Shine is a skilled outdoorsman and a devoted protector of the island's flora and fauna. He is also a loyal friend and a fierce defender of his community, which is threatened by a group of unscrupulous land developers who want to exploit the island's resources for their own gain. As Shine battles to protect the island and its inhabitants, he faces numerous challenges, including dangerous animals, treacherous weather, and violent confrontations with the developers and their hired thugs. Along the way, he forms close relationships with other rangers and island residents, including a young woman named Kate, who becomes his love interest.The novel is notable for its depiction of African American characters as heroic and capable, in contrast to the racist stereotypes prevalent in many works of the time. Munroe, who was a prolific writer of adventure stories for young readers, based the novel on his own experiences exploring the Sea Islands and studying the ecology of the region. Overall, Shine Terrill: A Sea Island Ranger is a thrilling adventure story that celebrates the beauty and resilience of nature, as well as the courage and determination of those who seek to protect it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
