Excerpt from Responsibility of American Youth: An Address Delivered Before the Lyceum in Pelham, N. H., December 11, 1849 We hear a good deal said at the present - forcibly and justly said - of the mission of the scholar; of the high trust committed to professional men; of parental obliga tion; of the solemn position of men in public office. All this is right. Let these duties be discussed, and these momentous influences be understood. Let those who occupy these commanding and marked positions weigh well the solemn consequences which will result from their course, and the urgent claims which are made up on them to know and to do their duty. But after all there is another class whose power is as great, and whose responsibilities are as immense as any of those to whom I have referred. They are the youth, the future sovereigns, and, in more senses than one, the sovere'ignsr of our land. Upon their shoulders the burdens of state; will soon be rolled. Into their hand the destinies of the land will soon be committed. And all that is precious in freedom, and sacred in law, and lovely in truth, and beautiful in morals, and praiseworthy in philanthropy, and valuable in religion, will depend on their character and course.

American Youth is a controlled, essential, and powerful tale of a teenager in southern New England who is confronted by a terrible moral dilemma following a fatal firearms accident in his home. This tragedy earns him the unwelcome admiration of a sinister group of boys at his school and a girl associated with them. Set in a town riven by social and ideological tensions – an old rural culture in conflict with newcomers – this is a classic portrait of a young man struggling with the idea of identity and responsibility in an America ill at ease with itself.
