| Summary | "An American Robinson Crusoe for American Boys and Girls" by Samuel B. Allison is an educational adaptation of the classic adventure tale, likely written in the early 20th century. This book retells the story of Robinson Crusoe with a focus on imparting knowledge about human progress and self-sufficiency, making it suitable for young readers. The main character, Robinson, embarks on a transformative journey after leaving his comfortable life to explore the world, ultimately becoming stranded on an island where he learns to survive through ingenuity and hard work. The opening of the book introduces us to Robinson Crusoe as a young boy living in New York, where his parents hope he will pursue a diligent education. However, his dreams of adventure along the Hudson River overshadow his studies.
