Summary | "Pole Baker: A Novel" by Will N. Harben is a fictional work likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rural Southern setting, introducing readers to the life of Captain Duncan, a planter returning home, and Pole Baker, a rugged and daring figure with a tumultuous past as a moonshiner. It explores themes of community, personal conflict, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of the novel establishes the setting in the town of Darley as Captain Duncan arrives and prepares to return to his plantation. He is greeted by various townsfolk, including the local hotel clerk and merchant, who share stories illustrating Pole's character. We learn that Pole Baker is known for his intimidating presence and a duel of wits with Captain Duncan, where Duncan admires Baker's bravery but is aware of his flaws, particularly related to alcohol. The narrative hints at tensions present within the community, foreshadowing future conflicts tied to Baker's reputation and the relationships that will develop among the characters. The stage is set for a rich exploration of moral choices and interwoven destinies against a backdrop of rural life. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
