Tilting at Windmills in Blue Grass Country
A review of Emma M. Connelly's Tilting at Windmills presents a Boston heir to a Kentucky estate story that fuses public questions with romance. Allerton, 28 in 1872, returns from the Civil War to improve a Southern town, facing opposition while building a negro school and library. The critique notes uneven character depiction, dialog, and overreaching religiosity, yet credits Connelly's insight and humor for future improvement.

A separate observation confirms hearing differences in noisy settings, as a locomotive engineer, deemed deaf, could hear whispers and faint movements when tested in a cab with a physician.
