Project Gutenberg 1999-03-01 Public domain in the USA. 247 Todd, Burbank L. Hiram the Young Farmer Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer, and David Widger "Hiram the Young Farmer" by Burbank L. Todd is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Hiram Strong, a seventeen-year-old country boy who realizes that his attempts at making a living in the city of Crawberry are unfulfilling. Frustrated with his lack of success in urban life, he yearns to return to the farm, reflecting on his roots and the sense of freedom he felt in the countryside. The narrative sets the stage for Hiram's journey toward rediscovering his passion for the land and the challenges he may encounter along the way. At the start of the novel, Hiram is depicted standing on the Ridge Road, looking out over the familiar landscape, longing for the simplicity and joy of farm life which he has missed during his two years in the city. He grapples with feelings of inadequacy in his various city jobs and the social interactions at his boarding house, which leave him feeling stifled and discontented. The opening chapter paints a vivid picture of his internal struggle as he reflects on his journey and considers the possibility of returning to the farm, hinting at the adventure and transformation that await him as he seeks to reclaim his true self amidst the beauty of nature.
