A novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Jed, a resilient and strong-willed boy living in a poorhouse under the harsh management of Mr. and Mrs. Fogson. As Jed struggles against their tyranny and dreams of a better life, his journey of self-discovery and pursuit of independence begins to unfold. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Jed, who is subjected to the cruel treatment of the Fogsons, the poorhouse overseers. His character is depicted as resourceful and assertive despite the oppressive environment, highlighting the contrast between his spirit and that of his tyrannical caretakers. The opening establishes his dissatisfaction with life in the poorhouse and hints at his longing to escape and find his own way in the world—setting the stage for his impending adventures.
