Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Wolfville" by Alfred Henry Lewis is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the small, rough-and-tumble mining town of Wolfville, Arizona, focusing on the colorful lives and adventures of its eclectic residents, particularly the Old Cattleman, who serves as the storyteller. Central themes include frontier justice, camaraderie, and the quirks of life on the American frontier, with the characters navigating challenges and peculiar social customs. The opening of the book introduces the Old Cattleman, who reflects on Wolfville's first funeral, a lively and humorous event that captures the essence of life and death in a frontier town. Led by Doc Peets, the funeral serves as both a spectacle and a bonding experience for the residents. With Jack King's demise provide a catalyst for the gatherings of locals, the Cattleman details the camp's preparations for the funeral, their attempts to honor King's life, and their deep-rooted camaraderie amidst the spirits of the Wild West. As they gather for this unique ceremony, the community spirit and the oddity of their customs come to the fore, setting the tone for the intertwining tales that will follow.
