| Summary | "Barry Wynn; Or, The Adventures of a Page Boy in the United States Congress" by George Barton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Barry Wynn, who has just been appointed as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives and is brimming with excitement and ambition as he steps into the world of politics and governance. The book explores Barry's experiences in Washington, including his interactions with political figures and the challenges he faces as he learns the workings of congress. The opening of the novel introduces Barry as he embarks on his journey to Washington, filled with anticipation and naivety. He receives an important package to deliver to Congressman Carlton and begins to understand the significance of his new role. Upon arriving in the Capitol, Barry is struck by the grandeur of the building and its history, but he also faces the realities of being a page boy, including moments of embarrassment and the need to navigate a new environment. His initial encounters with other pages and Congressman Carlton set the foundation for his development and the adventures that lie ahead in the bustling political landscape.
