| Summary | "Rhymes of the Survey and Frontier" by George Blackstone Field is a collection of poetic reflections written in the early 20th century. This book captures the experiences and sentiments of the surveyors and pioneers who ventured into untamed wildernesses, navigating both the physical challenges and the emotional landscapes of their endeavors. Through verse, Field pays tribute to their courage, sacrifice, and the spirit of exploration that characterized the expansion of civilization into harsh and remote territories. In this collection, Field's poetry weaves together themes of adventure, solitude, and the deep connection between the land and those who work to document and tame it. The poems illustrate the struggles faced by the men of the survey line, expressing their longing for home, the toll of hardship, and the complex relationships they have with nature and their own identities. With vivid imagery and a narrative style, Field invites readers to empathize with the lives of these often-overlooked heroes, celebrating their contributions while acknowledging the weight of their solitude and the price of their resilience. Each poem serves as a poignant reminder of the trials endured for the sake of progress, encapsulating the essence of frontier life and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to forge paths in uncharted lands.
