| Summary | "Little Hickory; or, Ragged Rob's Young Republic" by George Waldo Browne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young bootblack named Ragged Rob, also known as Little Hickory, who navigates the challenging landscape of New York City, meets various characters, and ultimately finds himself embroiled in a series of adventures that illustrate themes of friendship, courage, and aspiration against the backdrop of urban struggles. The opening of the book sets the stage for Little Hickory's encounters in the bustling city, where he meets Deacon Elihu Cornhill, a bewildered newcomer from the countryside. Their interaction quickly escalates as Deacon Cornhill becomes a target for theft, prompting Rob to spring into action. Despite the chaos, he manages to retrieve the lost belongings. Through this lively introduction, we are drawn into the rich tapestry of characters and conflicts, highlighting the stark contrast between innocence and the urban environment. As Rob's story unfolds, it hints at deeper themes of belonging and the pursuit of a greater life amid adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
