| Summary | "Lewis Rand" by Mary Johnston is a novel written during the early 20th century that explores themes of ambition, identity, and the socio-political landscape of post-Revolutionary America. The story follows the life of Lewis Rand, a young boy from a humble background, who dreams of becoming a lawyer despite his father's wishes for him to follow in the family tradition of tobacco-rolling. The opening of the book establishes the setting and introduces key characters, specifically Lewis Rand and his father, Gideon, who are traveling to Richmond with a tobacco cask. Through vivid descriptions of nature and the nuances of their daily lives, it highlights Lewis's inner conflict between his aspirations and his father's expectations. As he meets Adam Gaudylock, a hunter who embodies a carefree lifestyle, Lewis dreams of adventure beyond his father's tobacco fields. The interactions between Lewis, his father, and the hunter set the stage for the boy’s transformative journey, revealing his struggles against familial pressure and his desire to pursue a life of knowledge and influence.
