McGuire "Harper's Young People, August 15, 1882" by Various is a periodical publication intended for children, reflecting the late 19th century. This issue features a variety of stories and articles that blend adventure, moral lessons, and entertainment aimed at young readers. One of the main narratives is "The Cruise of the Canoe Club" by W. L. Alden, which chronicles the endeavors of a group of boys planning a canoe adventure, highlighting themes of friendship, ambition, and the adventures that ensue as they gather the resources to achieve their goal. The beginning of "The Cruise of the Canoe Club" introduces four boys—Charley, Tom, Harry, and Joe—eager to embark on a canoeing escapade but quickly realizing the financial constraints of their aspirations. As they brainstorm ways to afford the canoes, they consider selling their sailboat, seek the advice of several canoeists who each advocate for different canoe models, and grapple with contradictions about which design is superior. This opening sets the stage for a story that promises both camaraderie among the boys as they navigate their predicament and the humorous challenges they face while learning about decision-making and the fun of outdoor exploration.
