Summary "Prairie Folks" by Hamlin Garland is a collection of stories set in the American Midwest, written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the lives of pioneers and settlers inhabiting the prairie, depicting their struggles, relationships, and daily experiences. Themes of hardship, character, and the pursuit of happiness in challenging environments resonate throughout the narratives, capturing a vivid portrayal of rural American life." "The opening of "Prairie Folks" introduces us to Uncle Ethan Ripley, a farmer with a keen sense of character who believes that a man’s attitude while seated in a wagon conveys his nature. As he engages with a wandering patent medicine salesman, the dialogue showcases Ethan’s simple, hardworking life and sets the stage for humor and conflict. The chance encounter leads to Ethan’s decision to let the salesman paint a sign advertising the bitters on his newly-built barn, igniting tension with his wife, who disapproves of the advertisement. The narrative blend of dialogue, character details, and rural life reflects Garland's keen observation of human nature and societal norms in the frontier context."
