The Town 1950	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Town is a 1950 novel by Conrad Richter. It is the third installment in a trilogy of novels collectively called "The Awakening Land", and was proceeded by The Trees (1940) and The Fields (1946).The time frame runs from sometime 1815-1820 or so to 1861. Protagonist Sayward Wheeler, who was the daughter of a frontier family in the first novel and a young bride in the second novel, is now a middle-aged mother of ten children, nine surviving. Her husband Portius is having some success as a lawyer, and the Wheeler family is upwardly mobile. Change is coming to Ohio, with the Wheeler's home town of Moonshine Gulch getting a name change to "Americus" and growing by leaps and bounds as industrialization and railroads come to the Midwest.The main protagonists are Sayward and her youngest child, Chancey. Sayward is an old-fashioned frontier woman who believes in hard work and sweat and is most comfortable in a log cabin. Chancey, in his youth a pampered child due to a supposedly sickly constitution, grows up into an arrogant, spoiled adult, who scorns his mother's belief in work as an end in itself. The conflict between the two of them is symbolic of the growing pains as backwoods frontier society became more urban and civilized over the first half of the 19th century.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Town 1950 / int_6cdc784f	comment	That may be BS, but years later Sayward discovers that it really happened with her sister Sulie. Sayward finds Sulie, who disappeared in the forest decades ago, living as a fully assimilated Lenape, speaking in You No Take Candle English and refusing to acknowledge that Sayward is her sister. Sayward can't make up her mind whether or not it was better not to know, or whether or not it would have been better for Sulie to have died as a child.
