"The Harris-Ingram Experiment" by Charles E. Bolton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Harris family, particularly Alfonso Harris, who is an aspiring artist, as they embark on a journey filled with challenges linked to family, business, and social dynamics during a transatlantic voyage to Europe. The narrative explores themes of capital and labor through the interpersonal relationships and societal expectations faced by the characters.
At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Alfonso Harris, who is eagerly anticipating the arrival of his family in New York City for a trip abroad. Alfonso, the son of Colonel Reuben Harris, struggles between his passion for art and his father's desire for him to take over the family business. As the family prepares for their travels, we get a glimpse of their affluent lifestyle, with connections to important figures like Mr. Hugh Searles from London, who represents an opportunity for the Colonel's business transactions. The opening pages set the stage for imminent troubles, as Colonel Harris receives concerning news about a strike at his iron and steel mills just before their departure, hinting at the challenges that await the family during their journey and the implications for their future.
