Sinopse

In "The Young Explorer; Or, Claiming His Fortune," Horatio Jr. Alger crafts a quintessential coming-of-age narrative emblematic of 19th-century American literature. This work encapsulates the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of the American Dream, as the protagonist embarks on a quest for prosperity and self-discovery in a rapidly changing world. Alger'Äôs signature style, characterized by moral optimism and straightforward prose, chronicles the trials and triumphs of youth seeking fortune, while also reflecting larger themes of perseverance, integrity, and social mobility within the context of post-Civil War America. Horatio Alger, a noted author and social reformer, was profoundly influenced by the hardships of his own upbringing and the prevailing socio-economic realities of his time. His life experiences as a teacher and a clergyman informed his belief in the power of hard work and virtue as pathways to success. This belief resonates throughout his narratives, as he often portrays young, impoverished characters who rise to prominence through grit and moral fortitude, mirroring his desire to inspire hope in his readership amidst the adversities of the era. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Young Explorer" to readers seeking an engaging tale imbued with lessons on resilience and moral character. Alger'Äôs beloved narrative not only entertains but also serves as an insightful commentary on the human spirit's ability to overcome challenges in pursuit of one's dreams, making it a timeless addition to the canon of American literature.

    In the late 1970s, grain prices had tanked, farm auctions filled newspapers, and people had forgotten that food didn’t grow in grocery stores. So, on February 5, 1979, thousands of tractors from all parts of the USA took to the highways and flooded Washington, DC, in protest. Farmers wanted  
    fair prices for their products and demanded action from Congress. After police corralled the tractors on the National Mall, the farmers and their tractors stayed through a snowstorm and dug out the city. Americans were now convinced they needed farmers, but the law took longer. 
     
    Lindsay H. Metcalf, a journalist who grew up on a family farm, shares this rarely told story of grassroots perseverance and economic justice rooted in the 1980s farm crisis. It is the story of the struggle and triumph of the American farmer that still resonates today.
