Summary "Caleb Conover, Railroader" by Albert Payson Terhune is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on the life of Caleb Conover, a self-made man from humble beginnings who has risen to prominence in the world of railroads and politics, reflecting themes of ambition, social status, and the quest for acceptance among the elite. At the start of the novel, the narrative unfolds during a grand reception hosted by Caleb Conover to showcase his social standing and celebrate his daughter’s recent marriage to a prince. As guests arrive, Mr. Conover struggles to navigate the world of high society while grappling with his past and the perception others have of him. Interactions among the guests reveal the underlying tensions of social class and political aspirations, setting the stage for conflict as Clive Standish, a potential political opponent, is introduced. The opening establishes not only the central character's ambitions but also hints at impending challenges both within his family and in the political realm, making it clear that the story will delve deeper into issues of power, perception, and personal integrity.
