Summary "Clinton: or, Boy-life in the Country" by Walter Aimwell is a fictional work written in the mid-19th century. This novel follows the life of a boy named Clinton Davenport, who lives in the picturesque village of Brookdale, as he navigates the complexities of growing up amidst the temptations and challenges of youth. The story promises to explore moral lessons surrounding the virtues of industry, obedience, and the importance of making sound decisions in the face of peer pressure. The opening of the story introduces us to Clinton's idyllic home life, highlighting his ingenuity and dedication to various projects, such as raising poultry and crafting items in his father's workshop. As the narrative unfolds, we see Clinton's interactions with friends, particularly two boys, Jerry and Oscar, who begin to influence him in potentially negative ways. Through these early chapters, themes of temptation, moral conflict, and the challenges of staying true to one's values are set up as Clinton grapples with the choices he faces and the consequences of his actions.
