"The Rising of the Tide: The Story of Sabinsport" by Ida M. Tarbell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the fictional town of Sabinsport during a tumultuous period, capturing themes of social justice, political corruption, and the effects of war. The opening introduces key characters such as Ralph Gardner, an ambitious young editor, and the Reverend Richard Ingraham, who grapple with the challenges facing their community and the impending First World War. At the start of the narrative, Ralph Gardner is disillusioned with the state of his town, which he believes is plagued by corruption, represented by the unscrupulous politicians Jake Mulligan and Reuben Cowder. While Ralph is determined to expose their misdeeds through his newspaper, he struggles to garner the support of the townspeople, who seem indifferent to his cause. Meanwhile, Richard Ingraham tries to counsel him to adopt a more strategic approach. The conversation foreshadows the complexities of societal change as they learn that Austria has declared war on Serbia, marking the beginning of a larger conflict that will ripple through their personal lives and community. The characters' conflicting views set the stage for a deeper exploration of duty, ethical leadership, and the impact of external events on local concerns.
