Hodgson is a practical guidebook written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the principles of mechanics and hands-on projects suitable for children, emphasizing the learning of practical skills through engaging activities and construction. It likely aims to inspire a sense of curiosity about mechanics and offers invaluable guidance for aspiring young builders. The opening of the book introduces us to the Gregg family, particularly focusing on siblings Fred, Jessie, and George, who are eager to make improvements on their newly acquired property by the Passaic River. The excitement begins with Jessie's wish for their father to secure the land, leading to discussions about building a cement pathway, a boat house, and eventually a gasoline launch. As their father involves them in the planning and execution of these projects, the family engages in various practical tasks, employing rudimentary mechanical principles such as leverage and teamwork to overcome obstacles and construct their dreams. Overall, the beginning sets the stage for a delightful exploration of mechanics through meaningful projects.
