"Wolfville Days" by Alfred Henry Lewis is a novel probably written during the late 19th century. The book is set in the fictional frontier town of Wolfville, exploring the unique lifestyles and characters of its inhabitants, particularly highlighting the culture surrounding cowboy life, local commerce, and the various conflicts that arise within this rugged setting. It introduces a vibrant cast, including Colonel Sterett, a prominent newspaper owner, and the mischievous Doc Peets, who engage in dialogue that reflects the humor, challenges, and dynamics of daily life in a Southwestern town. The opening portion of "Wolfville Days" begins with a conversation about labor struggles in Wolfville, particularly centering on a strike by printers at the local newspaper, the "Coyote." The narrative features the Old Cattleman, who reflects humorously on the town's social structure and the characters who populate it, including a drunken impresario named Huggins and the Colonel, who navigates his relationship with the rebellious printers. As tensions build, the Colonel maneuvers through this labor uprising, interspersing his interactions with witty anecdotes about the town’s inhabitants and their antics, setting the stage for the ensuing conflict and camaraderie found in Wolfville.
