| Summary | "The Memoirs of an American Citizen" by Robert Herrick is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around E.V. Harrington, a young man from Indiana who, after experiencing a series of setbacks and misadventures, finds himself in Chicago. The narrative explores themes of ambition, struggle, and the quest for identity as he navigates his place in a bustling and harsh urban environment. The beginning of the novel introduces Harrington's challenging introduction to life in Chicago as a homeless wanderer. In an opening scene, he spent his first night outdoors by the lakefront, illustrating his desperate situation. As he befriends fellow drifter Ed Hostetter, the two guys seek employment, only to face various obstacles, including a wrongful accusation of theft on Harrington’s part. This sets the stage for his struggles with societal judgments and his desire to rise above his circumstances through determined efforts to find work and regain his self-respect. The initial chapters establish the backdrop for his future adventures and the evolution of his character amidst the chaos of urban life. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
