Summary "Other Main-Travelled Roads" by Hamlin Garland is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book primarily explores the lives of farmers and villagers in the American Midwest, capturing the struggles and triumphs of rural life during that era. Through the characters, such as Lyman Gilman and Marietta Bacon, Garland vividly depicts the challenges faced by individuals striving for love and stability amidst the hard realities of farming life. The opening of "Other Main-Travelled Roads" introduces readers to Lyman Gilman, a hired man working for Farmer Bacon, as he savors the early signs of spring on the Iowa prairie. His interactions with Marietta, the farmer's daughter, hint at a burgeoning romance, layered with the typical joys and constraints of rural existence. The narrative builds up tension as Lyman plans to propose to Marietta while grappling with the potential disapproval of her father. The scene is set with a contrast between the idyllic landscape and the difficult dynamics of farm life, establishing both a romantic and a social conflict that will drive the story forward.
