Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition" by Marietta Holley is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the character Samantha and her husband Josiah Allen as they embark on a journey to the St. Louis Exposition, which celebrates the Louisiana Purchase. The narrative explores themes of ambition, pride, and the contrasts between small-town life and the broader societal movements of the time. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Samantha's keen observations about her husband, Josiah, who becomes increasingly preoccupied with planning a personal celebration in honor of their homestead that coincides with the Exposition. Samantha describes Josiah's eccentric behavior, including drawing old documents and plotting with friends about their land's history. As Josiah becomes more consumed by his ambitious plans, Samantha struggles to bring him back to reality and prevent his wild ideas from taking root. The dynamic between the couple showcases Samantha's wit and practicality against Josiah's lofty aspirations, setting the stage for a comedic exploration of their unexpected journey to the Exposition.
