Summary

"Hiram the Young Farmer" by Burbank L. Todd is a tale of a young man's quest for purpose. Seventeen-year-old Hiram Strong finds himself disillusioned with city life after two years of lackluster success. Standing on the Ridge Road, he gazes upon the countryside, memories of his farm life flooding back. The city jobs and boarding house that once seemed like a new beginning now suffocate him, fueling a desperate yearning for the simplicity and freedom of his rural past. As he grapples with feelings of inadequacy, Hiram contemplates a return to his roots, setting the scene for an adventure where he will seek to reclaim his identity amidst the challenges and beauty of the natural world.
