Sinossi

In "Jack, the Young Ranchman: A Boy's Adventures in the Rockies," George Bird Grinnell crafts a thrilling narrative that intertwines the coming-of-age journey of a young boy against the backdrop of the majestic Rocky Mountains. The novel is steeped in vivid descriptions that evoke the grandeur of the American wilderness, reflecting the Romantic literary style prevalent in the late 19th century. Grinnell, known for his naturalist approach, captures not only the challenges and adventures faced by Jack but also emphasizes the themes of self-reliance, courage, and the harmonious relationship between humanity and nature. Grinnell, a prominent figure in American literature and conservation, drew upon his extensive experiences as an explorer and naturalist to inform his storytelling. His commitment to preserving the American West and his deep love for nature are palpable throughout the narrative, providing readers with both a thrilling adventure and valuable insights into the era's cultural context. Grinnell's firsthand experience with indigenous cultures and the American wilderness notably shapes the authentic representation of landscapes and characters in the book. "Jack, the Young Ranchman" is highly recommended for readers seeking an exhilarating blend of adventure and nature writing. Grinnell's compelling narrative engages young readers while offering profound reflections on growth, friendship, and the spirit of the American frontier. This timeless tale serves not only as an entertaining read but also as a rich exploration of the values that resonate within the American character.

    Sing a song o' sixpence, a handful of rye, 
    Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie; 
    When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, 
    Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the King? 
    So, what does this strange old nursery song mean? Or is it just nonsense?  If you have never heard the legend of Gilligren and the King's pie you will scarcely understand the above verse; so let Frank Baum, the man who wrote the Wizard of OZ, tell you the whole story, and then you will be able to better appreciate the rhyme. 
    Gilligren was an orphan, and lived with an uncle and aunt who were very unkind to him. They cuffed him and scolded him upon the slightest provocation, and made his life very miserable indeed. Gilligren never rebelled against this treatment, but bore their cruelty silently and with patience, although often he longed to leave them and seek a home amongst kinder people.
