"Scenes in the West; or, The Sunday-School and Temperance" by Anonymous is a series of linked stories chronicling the experiences of a dedicated missionary striving to bring religious education and sobriety to the American West, during the 1800's. The narrative tracks the central figure's interactions with a community that is both resistant and receptive to his progressive ideals, as he spreads his message of love and community. Initial rejection from influential figures such as Mr. Steele sharply contrasts with the kindness he receives from children, such as George and Mary, highlighting the struggle between entrenched societal norms and the potential for change cultivated by faith and persistence amidst adversity. The missionary's journey shows the difficulties in trying to change a whole community.
