Fourth of July Celebration in Jimtown Farce and Fights
A boisterous Fourth of July in Jimtown centers on Gabe Walker’s plan for a community celebration with handmade flags and improvised music. The day features Mrs. Porter as Goddess of Liberty, a parade without a full band, an oration by Judge Ramsay, and a comic clash between Gabe’s supporters and a judge over historical origins. The event ends with a brawl and a sobering misremembered note about Columbus and Washington.
