| 520 | _a"The Riverman" by Stewart Edward White is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story is set in 1872 on a river bend near a dam, focusing on the lives of rivermen who drive logs downstream, emphasizing their rugged lifestyle and camaraderie. The narrative explores the challenges they face, including conflicts with the dam owner, Simeon Reed, as they strive to manage the river's flow and navigate obstacles that threaten their livelihood. The opening of "The Riverman" paints a vivid picture of a bustling camp of rivermen preparing for their daily work on the river. A lively crew of men, diverse in age and character, gathers around fires, exchanging banter as they deal with an unexpected wind that hampers their progress. The central character, Jack Orde, emerges as a capable and humorous leader, attempting to rally his crew to address the issues posed by the dam's sluice-gate. The tension escalates as conflicts arise with Reed, who is staunchly protective of his property. Through detailed descriptions of the camp dynamics and the men's interactions, the narrative sets the stage for a gripping tale of resilience against nature and authority in the rough-and-tumble world of river driving.
