| Summary | "The Rapids" by Alan Sullivan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Robert Fisher Clark, a determined and self-assured man whose confidence and ambition drive him to revitalize the struggling town of St. Marys, Ontario, through his visionary plans for industrial development and the utilization of local natural resources. As he interacts with local citizens and reveals his ambitious proposals, he captivates the community with his compelling vision for their future. The opening of "The Rapids" introduces Robert Fisher Clark as he journeys to St. Marys, where he overhears a conversation that ignites his interest in the town's untapped potential. Clark's interactions with local figures, including the mayor and legal representatives, create an atmosphere of anticipation around his ambitious plans to harness the power of the nearby rapids for industrial growth. As he surveys the unfinished canal works and contemplates the riches of the natural landscape, he formulates a strategy that promises to transform St. Marys into a thriving industrial hub. Meanwhile, the townspeople, caught between skepticism and newfound hope, await the unfolding of Clark's grand vision, setting the stage for the profound changes to come.
