Summary "David Harum" by Edward Noyes Westcott is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set primarily in central New York, it vividly portrays rural American life through the lens of its main character, David Harum, a horse-trading banker with a unique blend of cleverness, humor, and humanity. The story intricately weaves in elements of love and lessons on human nature, making it a rich exploration of character and community. The opening of "David Harum" introduces us to David as he enjoys a meal with his sister, Aunt Polly Bixbee, revealing his quirky personality through humorous dialogue and his straightforward observations about life. We learn that he has decided to bring a young man named John Lenox from New York to assist him following a letter of recommendation. Aunt Polly's concern about the arrangement provides insight into their familial dynamic, while David's humorous reflections about horse trading hint at the story's underlying themes of human relations and moral complexity in rural business. This opening sets the stage for David's interactions with the people of his community, highlighting his distinctive character and the world he navigates. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
