Summary "Spring Street" by James H. Richardson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Gallant, a young man facing personal hardships following his father's death. As he grapples with grief and the ensuing responsibilities, he transforms from a passive character into one who takes proactive steps to support his family by engaging in boxing for money, while navigating the complexities of life in Los Angeles. At the start of the narrative, John is depicted in a state of turmoil as he mourns his father's impending death. The scene unfolds with John pacing outside their home, overwhelmed by the thought of losing his father, while his mother is depicted in quiet despair. After his father's passing, John is faced with the financial burden of the funeral and vows to find work to support his mother, ultimately deciding to pursue boxing despite her objections. As he sets out to secure a fight to earn money, he unwittingly steps into a world fraught with danger and moral dilemmas, setting the stage for his journey of self-discovery amid the vibrant yet challenging backdrop of Los Angeles during this time.
