Major Roger Sherman Potter leaves his native Cape to recount his exploits in war, a pleasant meeting with a renowned man, dealings with a fishmonger and a swine driver, adventures in New York, and his fall among politicians who decide he would make a fine President. Adams sets out to make his Yankee hero speak decent English and satirises American political wire-pulling along the way.
A long, rambling mid-century political satire for readers who enjoy the American comic picaresque. Download the free EPUB.
