Legacy of a city’s social fabric and a soldier’s fate
The excerpt portrays Selwyn's lineage and duty within a city’s established order. It recalls forefathers who served as professionals, doctors, and lawyers, with genealogical echoes from Chapultepec to Montauk Point. A brother’s death in war and a sporadic career shift reshape the family’s ties and holdings across New York and ties to Austin Gerard.
