The Story of a Country Town is a pioneering triumph of realistic fiction and a landmark of 19th-century American classic literature.

Edgar Watson Howe wrote it at night after a hard day's work as editor and publisher of an evening newspaper in Aitchison, Kansas. The novel represents a retreat from the nineteenth-century romantic image of rural life in the American Midwest. Set in the fictional town of Twin Mounds, the narrative serves as a sharp critique of an environment that cripples the mind and corrodes the spirit. It is marked by a sense of harsh pessimism and a feeling of lost opportunities.
