E-text prepared by Rick Niles, Charlie Kirschner, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Daughter of Anderson Crow" by George Barr McCutcheon is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the fictional town of Tinkletown and follows its notable resident, Anderson Crow, who serves as the town marshal, fire chief, and a self-proclaimed detective. The narrative centers around his quirks and the comic events that unfold, particularly surrounding a murder case that begins with a series of chaotic mishaps, including the sale of a horse and buggy that may be connected to the crime. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Anderson Crow, who is characterized as an important figure in Tinkletown, basking in the recent glory of being an official detective. His peaceful day is interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious stranger who inadvertently entangles Crow in a dramatic event involving a murder and the sale of stolen goods. As he becomes embroiled in a manhunt, the townspeople's perceptions of Crow shift, revealing his comedic earnestness amid rising tensions. The opening chapter sets the stage for a blend of humor and mystery, with Crow's affable yet clumsy approach to law enforcement promising an entertaining exploration of small-town life and intrigue.
