About this book

Walker Farr walks the New England roads with nothing to his name and no destination in mind, a drifter content to stay unknown. That changes when he reaches a mill town poisoned by a corrupt water monopoly and the machine politicians who protect it. What begins as pity for the sick and the poor hardens into a reform crusade, and the nameless wanderer becomes a public figure with enemies in high places and a growing love for Kate Kilgour. Holman Day, a Maine writer with a reporter's ear for local speech and back-room scheming, mixes political muckraking with sentiment and adventure in the popular style of his day. Readers who enjoy stories of an outsider taking on entrenched power will find it a brisk, warm-hearted period piece.
