| Summary | "Crowded Out o' Crofield; or, The Boy who made his Way" by William O. Stoddard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy, Jack Ogden, who dreams of escaping the confines of his small village, Crofield, to seek adventure and opportunity in the city. Through a series of daring escapades, including saving runaway horses and fishing exploits, Jack illustrates the spirit of determination and resourcefulness emblematic of youth. At the start of the tale, Jack stands at the door of the blacksmith shop, fueled by aspirations of adventure as he contemplates his small-town existence. The narrative introduces Jack's character as he faces the challenges of home life, expresses his desire to explore the wider world, and showcases his bravery when he intervenes to stop a runaway wagon. Additionally, the story hints at the budding romantic connection with his sister Mary, who also yearns for a life beyond their small town. The opening sets the stage for Jack’s journey from the constraints of Crofield to the possibilities of the city, filled with hope and youthful determination.
