The Not Who Never Made Anything and Lafayette Smith
A condensed feature follows Lafayette Smith, an early New York settler whose dream of farming wealth fails under poverty and political shifts. His neighbor Lafayette Yeates’s mocking voice contrasts with Smith’s toil as a physician’s quack remedies fail and the clan’s lands melt away. Smith’s rise on bare hope ends with bankruptcy, relocation, and the westward exodus.
