An excerpt recounts a homecoming around a character named Silas Wright Irving Bajheller with family, a dog, and neighbors. Aunt Deel guides a joyous reunion as relatives recall past peril and pride while a child meets a cherished guardian figure in a rural setting.
A narrator recalls a sick spell and a planned trip to Canton with Aunt Deel to hear Mr. Wright. The voyage includes mock grandeur with new breeches, a deacon's meeting at a stone church, and a mix of hopes and social awkwardness when meeting the Dunkelbergs. Pages recount Aunt Deel's praise of Mr. Wright and the narrator's uneasy reception among Canton residents.
A box of books arrives for the uncle, and the household reads aloud from works by Irving Hawthorne and others. News of Silas Wright’s Senate election excites them, while a fortune telling visit by Kate unsettles the quiet evening as Uncle Peabody and Aunt Deel offer shelter and discuss Kate’s wanderings.
An old narrator recalls strangers passing through Battleroad including money as a powerful force. He remembers a dollar bill and coins, a caravan of wild geasts, missed coins, and a ledger of 1837 1838 with notes and sales to J. Dorothy and others, hinting at past economic ties and debts.
