Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Guy Harris, the Runaway" by Harry Castlemon is a fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Guy Harris, a spirited young boy who feels trapped by his family circumstances and dreams of adventure as a hunter and trapper in the prairies. The narrative unfolds with Guy's struggles against the oppressive atmosphere at home and sets the stage for his plans to run away from his restrictive life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a conflict between Guy and his peers that leads to a quarrel over a match-box and a moment of camaraderie when a friend intervenes. This incident highlights Guy's longing for autonomy and his desire to escape his mundane life, particularly under the watchful eye of his father and stepmother. As Guy schemes to accumulate the means for his getaway, he reflects on his frustrations at home, revealing the tension between his adventurous spirit and the limitations placed on him by his family. The opening portion sets the tone for a story of youthful rebellion, dreams of freedom, and the challenges of growing up in a restrictive environment.
