The Story of a Country Town
E. W. Howe established his reputation as an American realistic novelist with The Story of Country Town, an engrossing and vivid portrait of Midwestern Puritanism. Semi-autobiographical and enormously successful when published, the book tells the tale of Ned Westlock and his family, who live in a small Midwestern farming community.
