Summary "Josiah in New York; or, A Coupon from the Fresh Air Fund" by James Otis is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Josiah Shindle, who lives on a farm and is excited about visiting New York City after spending time with children from the city at his home. His journey is filled with adventures and challenges as he navigates the bustling urban environment, which is vastly different from his quiet life on the farm. At the start of the book, Josiah is preparing for his long-anticipated trip to New York City, having helped with the harvest on his family's farm. His excitement is palpable as he packs his belongings and receives permission to travel alone, with the understanding that he will be met by friends at the station. However, upon his arrival, he encounters confusion and homesickness as he struggles to find his friends, Tom and Bob, amidst the chaos of the city. The opening sets the stage for his misadventures, highlighting themes of innocence and the challenges of adapting to a new and overwhelming world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
