In the backwoods Indiana of the 1830s, where settlers still cleared the forest and the meeting house ruled opinion, the novel follows the beautiful Rita, her suitors and the young people around her through courtships, quarrels and neighbourhood gossip. Major opens with a wry sermon on the stern, disagreeable righteousness that rules the settlement, and draws on the Hoosier country of his own childhood.
