Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Calumet 'K'" by Samuel Merwin and Henry Kitchell Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the challenges faced in the construction of a large grain elevator and explores themes of industry, leadership, and labor relations. The main character, Charlie Bannon, is tasked with overseeing the construction, having to contend with delays, labor disputes, and unexpected complications that arise on the job site. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the setting of a grain elevator under construction and the challenges associated with the project. Bannon arrives to take over from the troubled constructor Peterson, who has encountered setbacks, especially with the delivery of materials. As Bannon assesses the situation, he immediately recognizes the disarray and issues stemming from labor management and material shortages. The tension is palpable as he navigates the challenges posed by union representatives and laborers, all while working against the clock to complete the elevator on time. The narrative establishes a sense of urgency and conflict that sets the tone for the unfolding drama in the industrial setting.
