| Summary | "Gleanings by the Way" by John A. Clark is a collection of reflective essays and travel narratives written in the early 19th century. The book presents the author's thoughts and observations during his journeys, primarily through various regions in the United States, such as Pennsylvania and Kentucky, while also exploring themes of faith, nature, and the human experience. The opening of the work introduces three "gleaners," individuals who gather insights from their experiences and surroundings. In recalling the biblical story of Ruth, the author reflects on the significance of gleaning both in a literal and metaphorical sense. He shares the story of a wealthy man who notices Ruth—the Moabite widow gleaning in his fields—and utilizes her narrative to symbolize the pursuit of spiritual and personal growth through life's experiences. The beginning serves as a foundation for exploring the author's journeys, religious reflections, and the societal observations he gathers along the way.
