Summary "Cap'n Dan's Daughter" by Joseph Crosby Lincoln is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set in the small coastal town of Trumet, capturing the challenges faced by Captain Dan Dott, who struggles to keep his dry goods store afloat while dealing with the pressures of family expectations and financial difficulties. Central to the narrative are Captain Dan Dott and his wife, Serena, along with their daughter, Gertrude, who is poised to leave home for her last year of college, adding to her parents' worries. The opening of the novel introduces Captain Dan, who is filled with despair over the lack of business in his store amid the summer season. As he reflects on the decisions that led him away from a prosperous life at sea to this disappointing venture, the tension builds with the arrival of a letter announcing the death of his wealthy aunt, Aunt Lavinia. Among other details, the letter hints at a considerable inheritance, setting the stage for potential turmoil in their lives as they navigate the consequences of newfound wealth while maintaining their social status in the community. This initial glimpse into the Dott family’s struggles and aspirations lays the foundation for further plot developments and character interactions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
