"Tramping on Life" by Harry Kemp is an autobiographical narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author’s formative years, detailing his experiences growing up in Mornington, Ohio, during the late 19th century amidst a backdrop of social and family upheaval. It explores themes of maternal loss, familial dynamics, and the bittersweet nature of childhood, as Kemp shares poignant memories of his mother, grandmother, and his father's aimless life following his mother's death. The opening of the narrative introduces the author's childhood, marked by the sorrow of losing his mother to consumption shortly after his birth. Kemp vividly recounts moments spent with his loving grandmother and the contrasting chaos introduced by his grandfather's negligent and dishonest character. The period is characterized by poverty and struggle, as Kemp reflects on the neighborhood's transformation due to industrialization and the evolving identities of its residents. From his rich imagination inspired by adventure novels and his relationships with various family members, we see the formation of a sensitive and creative soul grappling with loss and longing for understanding in a challenging world.
