"Gleanings by the Way" by John A. Clark, is a collection of essays and travel stories from the 1800's. Thinking about faith and humanity, the author tells of his trips across America, including places like Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Opening with an introduction of three people who study what's around them, Clark remembers the Bible story of Ruth, who gathered leftover crops from fields. Like Ruth, Clark pursues personal and spiritual growth through his adventures, using his trips, religious ideas, and thoughts about society as lessons.
