(H. William) Rainey, W. At the Black Rocks Produced by Al Haines "At the Black Rocks" by Rev. Edward A. Rand is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story primarily revolves around a timid and underprivileged boy named Bartholomew (affectionately known as Bartie) Trafton, whose life is marked by misfortune and a longing for acceptance. The narrative explores themes of resilience, friendship, and the struggle for belonging against a backdrop of seaside adventure and youthful heroism. The opening of the novel introduces Bartie as he ventures out in a small boat to seek help for his sick grandfather, only to face a dire situation when the boat capsizes, plunging him into the river. As he struggles against a powerful current, he is rescued by a brave fisherman boy, which marks the beginning of a series of events that highlight the bonds formed between the children of the community. We also see glimpses of Bartie's difficult home life, further deepening the reader's understanding of his character as he grapples with his self-worth against the opinions of others. This opening sets the stage for themes of bravery, compassion, and the quest for identity within a community that often underestimates him.
