| Summary | "The Young Bridge-Tender; or, Ralph Nelson's Upward Struggle" by Edward Stratemeyer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Ralph Nelson, a young bridge tender who faces a series of challenges following his father's tragic death. As Ralph navigates life in the small village of Westville, he deals with conflicts involving Squire Paget and his son Percy, who bully him and threaten his position at the bridge, all while grappling with family financial struggles and the pursuit of property rights. At the start of the book, Ralph discusses the missing property documents with his mother, which could prove their ownership of valuable land. The narrative quickly establishes Ralph's role as the young bridge tender and introduces various characters, including his friend Horace Kelsey, who becomes a significant ally after Ralph saves him from drowning. Tension builds as Ralph confronts Percy Paget, who embodies the entitled, arrogant youth. The opening chapters set the stage for Ralph's struggles against the influential Paget family, hinting at both personal and social conflicts that Ralph must face in his quest for dignity and respect in his challenging environment.
