Gunckel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the efforts of a community initiative focused on improving the lives of street children, specifically newsboys, through the formation and activities of the Boyville Newsboys' Association. The text highlights the experiences of these young boys, particularly a character named Jimmy, who, through kindness and resilience, helps shift perceptions about their lives and potential for good. The beginning of the book introduces Jimmy, a twelve-year-old newsboy with a notorious reputation for mischief, yet who reveals a kind heart through an act of kindness when he scatters hickory nuts for neighborhood children to find. Over the initial chapters, we see Jimmy’s interactions with a gentleman who takes an interest in his life, leading to the establishment of the Boyville Newsboys' Association—a movement aimed at providing a supportive structure where newsboys can govern themselves and uplift each other. Through various challenges and the pursuit of positive activities, the narrative showcases themes of redemption and the capacity for goodness within seemingly troubled youths.
