Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Budd Boyd's Triumph; or, The Boy-Firm of Fox Island" by William P. Chipman is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the journey of a young boy named Budd Boyd as he seeks employment and navigates the challenges of farm life, eventually embarking on an entrepreneurial venture with a newfound friend, Judd Floyd. As Budd grapples with hardships and develops resilience, themes of friendship, ambition, and the pursuit of a better life are central to the narrative. The opening of the story sets a somber mood, describing a cold March day as Budd Boyd walks along a highway in search of work. He is a determined and strong young man, despite the challenges he faces, and the narrative explores his interactions with Mr. Benton, a strict and unkind farmer who hires him. Budd endures hard labor under Benton’s harsh conditions, reflecting on his troubled past while displaying a remarkable spirit of perseverance. Through his journey, including a significant accident and the arrival of his friend, the foundation is laid for Budd's transition from a life of labor to an enterprising venture as he and Judd explore the potential of starting their own business on Fox Island.
