Northward Dream and a Political Thanksgiving
A surreal tale opens with exultant lines about leaving a frozen realm and chasing sunlit horizons, followed by a modern urban scene aboard a night train where a traveler faces a counterfeit bill dispute and a detective exposes a theft by Rev. Speedwell Spruce, later joined by Polly Patchin and a Thanksgiving reunion. The narrative segues into an intimate portrait of Polly Patchin, her background, education, character, and her influence on Garfield, concluding with friends noting Garfield’s ambition to be a sagacious, national president and his sober, robust demeanor.
