| Summary | "Yankee Boys in Japan; Or, The Young Merchants of Yokohama" by Henry Harrison Lewis is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two brothers, Grant and Nathaniel "Nattie" Manning, who are trying to salvage their father's failing importing business in Yokohama, Japan, following his death. As they navigate the complexities of business and personal rivalry, they confront challenges from a local competitor, Ralph Black, who threatens their newfound stability. The opening of the novel introduces the brothers, highlighting their contrasting personalities and circumstances; Grant is a crippled youth burdened by his family's legacy while Nattie is impulsive and passionate. They are met with the harsh realities of business when they discover that a debt may have been paid by their deceased father but lacks supporting documentation. Tension quickly escalates when Ralph Black attempts to provoke Nattie, leading them into a web of rivalry and conflict. As they strive to seek justice for their father's affairs, they encounter potential allies and enemies, setting the stage for a tale of resilience, adventure, and the pursuit of honor in the face of adversity.
