Summary | "The Adventures of My Cousin Smooth" by Timothy Templeton is a humorous novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the adventures of Solomon Smooth, a spirited and somewhat naive character from Cape Cod who embarks on a mission to meet and advise President Pierce in Washington, aiming to promote the ideals of Young America. Through Smooth's experiences, the book critiques political life and social customs in early America with wit and satire. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mr. Solomon Smooth and sets the tone for his escapades in Washington, D.C. Through his eyes, we learn about his ambitions and the peculiarities of those in power, showcased by his interactions with various characters, including a comically critical view of the political scene and his comical attempts to blend into high society. He soon arrives at the National Hotel and embarks on various misadventures, revealing much about the political and social landscape of the time, full of colorful descriptions and characters that serve to create a satirical portrait of American politics during the era.
