Summary: "The Young Surveyor; Or, Jack on the Prairies" by J. T. Trowbridge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young land surveyor named Jack as he navigates the challenges of working in the developing prairies of Northern Illinois, from locating section corners to encountering quirky characters in rural America. As he embarks on his journey, readers will likely be drawn into Jack’s adventures, showcasing themes of personal growth, responsibility, and the quirks of frontier life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jack, a young surveyor who arrives at the home of Mr. Wiggett, a local landowner, to assist him in finding a lost section corner on his property. The scene is set with a humorous portrayal of rural life, illustrated by Jack's interaction with the old man and his family, which includes a lively dog and children. As Jack begins his work, he demonstrates both enthusiasm and skill in surveying, while facing the challenges of the untamed prairies and the personalities he encounters. This opening lays the groundwork for a story filled with rural charm, adventure, and the everyday trials of a boy stepping into manhood. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
