Summary "Caleb Wright: A Story of the West" by John Habberton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows Philip Somerton and his wife, Grace, as they navigate the challenges of newfound wealth and the transition from city life in New York to an inheritance in a small Western town named Claybanks. The couple's journey explores themes of ambition, identity, and the cultural contrasts between urban and rural life. At the start of the story, Philip, a young clerk, discovers he has inherited his uncle's property and responsibilities in the town of Claybanks, which includes managing a general store and providing for a clerk named Caleb Wright. Philip and Grace's excitement about their fortune quickly turns to concern as they face the realities of rural living and their roles in a small community. The couple's dynamics are tested as they adapt to their new life, encountering the quirks of their surroundings, including Caleb's peculiarities and the challenges of running a business in an unfamiliar environment. The opening chapter sets the stage for their personal growth and hints at the adventures that await them as they settle into their new identities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
