Fairly easy to read. Produced by Steven desJardins and Distributed Proofreaders. "The Boy With the U.S. Census" by Francis Rolt-Wheeler is a children's adventure novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Hamilton as he embarks on a journey to become a census-taker, eager to contribute to the government's important work that shapes the nation. Through Hamilton's eyes, the reader is introduced to the intricate and often perilous environment surrounding census-taking in early 1900s America, particularly in the rural regions of Kentucky. The opening of the book reveals Hamilton’s determination and enthusiasm to become an enumerator for the Census Bureau. He interacts with "Uncle Eli," a seasoned Kentucky mountaineer who expresses skepticism about the role of the census-taker in their close-knit and wary communities. Through their conversation, the reader gains insight into the historical context of the region, including remnants of old blood feuds, the sense of independence held by the mountain folk, and the importance of data collection for governmental representation and social progress. Hamilton’s ambition to make a difference in his country through census-taking sets the stage for further adventures and challenges that lie ahead as he navigates both the land and the people.
