Summary: "The Depot Master" by Joseph Crosby Lincoln is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Captain Solomon Berry, the depot master of East Harniss, and his interactions with a colorful cast of local characters, including the wealthy and somewhat unscrupulous Mr. Williams, who is involved in local real estate dealings that significantly impact the community. The novel explores themes of friendship, social dynamics, and the influence of wealth in a small town. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Mr. Simeon Phinney, who is heading to the local depot.

Phinney's conversation with Williams reveals the impending displacement of Mrs. Olive Edwards due to Williams' real estate ambitions, stirring concerns among the townsfolk. The chapter then shifts focus to the depot master, Captain Sol, and his unique approach to his job, underscored by a humorous exchange with his young assistant, Issy McKay.
