The Son of his Father
Produced by Al Haines
"The Son of his Father" by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Gordon Carbhoy, a young man who finds himself at a decisive crossroads in life after amassing a significant debt due to his reckless living. His father, a wealthy railroad magnate, offers him one final chance to prove himself by leaving home to earn a substantial amount of money within six months, leading Gordon on an unexpected and challenging journey. At the start of the book, tension simmers between Gordon and his father as they confront his irresponsible behavior and the consequences of his lavish lifestyle. The conversation reveals their deep bond, marked by affection and high expectations. After some heated exchanges, Gordon reluctantly accepts a challenge from his father: to earn $100,000 in twelve months, which he boldly negotiates to six months with a stake of just $5,000. This crucial setup sets him on a path filled with uncertainty as he embarks on a journey to Snake's Fall, where he hopes to find fortune amid the rough and tumble existence of frontier life. The narrative unfolds amidst themes of self-discovery, the struggles of young adulthood, and the stark contrast between privilege and the harsh realities of the world.
