The River's Children: An Idyl of the Mississippi is a novel written by Ruth McEnery Stuart. The story is set in the late 1800s and follows the lives of a group of children who live along the Mississippi River. The main character is a young girl named Ranny, who is the daughter of a riverboat captain. Ranny and her friends spend their days playing along the riverbank and exploring the woods. As they grow older, the children begin to experience the harsh realities of life along the river. They witness the effects of poverty, racism, and violence. Ranny's own family is torn apart when her father is killed in a riverboat accident. Despite these challenges, the children remain resilient and find ways to support each other. The River's Children is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of friendship, loss, and the power of community. Stuart's vivid descriptions of the Mississippi River and its surrounding landscape bring the setting to life, while her characters are relatable and endearing. The novel offers a glimpse into a bygone era and provides insight into the struggles and triumphs of those who lived along the river during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
