| 520 | _a"The Steam-Shovel Man" by Ralph Delahaye Paine is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young man named Walter Goodwin, who is eager to improve his family's circumstances and seeks work on the ambitious Panama Canal project. As Walter embarks on his journey, he encounters a variety of characters, including the brash Captain Martin Bradshaw and the seasoned steam-shovel engineer Jack Devlin, both of whom embody the adventurous spirit of the time. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Walter Goodwin, who faces the challenges of hurrying through New York with a dropped suitcase that symbolizes his chaotic pursuit of opportunity. His aspiration leads him to the bustling docks of New York, where he meets Captain Bradshaw, who offers him a glimpse into life aboard a ship headed toward Panama. Through Walter's initial interactions with the crew and conversations about the Canal, readers sense his longing for adventure and his desire to make a meaningful contribution, all while grappling with the complexities of his family home back in Wolverton. The opening portion sets the stage for Walter’s transformative journey as he ventures into the unknown, hinting at themes of youthful ambition, adventure, and the quest for identity.
