Barton Baynes, a boy growing up in northern New York in the 1820s and 1830s, tells how he came of age with the encouragement of Silas Wright, the Democratic statesman of Canton. The story moves through country meetings, a silent woman, a strange small companion and the boy’s love for a girl in a green chair, with plenty of homely humour.
