Dreiser sketches twelve men he knew well: the free-spirited artist Peter, his own brother Paul, the songwriter Paul Dresser, a country doctor, the formidable trainer Culhane at his health farm, a patriarch, feuding villagers, an Irish contractor called the Mighty Rourke and others whose lives showed him how differently a man might live.
