Summary "A Little Girl in Old Chicago" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the burgeoning city of Chicago during the early 19th century and centers on a young girl named Ruth Gaynor, who arrives in Chicago with her father. The narrative explores their experiences as they navigate life in a developing town, highlighting the social aspects and daily challenges of pioneer life. The opening of the novel introduces us to Norman Hayne, who reflects on the first time he met Ruth, showcasing the beauty of the Chicago landscape at sunset. He describes his home and family, which includes a hardworking mother and several energetic brothers. When Ruth and her father arrive after a long journey, they are warmly welcomed by Norman's family, leading to a budding friendship between Norman and Ruth. As Ruth shares stories of her past and engages with the family, her character is established as intelligent and charming. This sets the stage for the themes of friendship, growth, and the trials of pioneering life in a developing city. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
