The Schoolmaster of Russian Bar by Orton
In Russian Bar California, a young schoolmaster Philip Houghton answers a newspaper ad to teach at the village school. He confronts mutinous pupils led by Ike Seymour, administers a decisive stand up blow, wins control, and earns trust. He courts Gypsy Lane, plans a New York move, and ultimately marries her as the town embraces his leadership.
