"Brother Jonathan" by Hezekiah Butterworth is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jonathan Trumbull, a key figure during the American Revolutionary War, and presents a rich tapestry of colonial life, intertwined with folk tales and the heroic narratives of the time. The main character, Dennis O’Hay, an Irish shipwrecked mariner, embarks on his journey to seek guidance from “Brother Jonathan,” who symbolizes the spirit of patriotism and nobility in the quest for American independence. The opening of "Brother Jonathan" introduces readers to Dennis O’Hay, who has just arrived in Connecticut after being rescued from a shipwreck. His vibrant and earnest character shines as he searches for support and guidance in this new land, ultimately seeking out Governor Jonathan Trumbull, known for his benevolence and patriotism. The narrative paints a bustling town setting, complete with colorful encounters—including a humorous dialogue with a somewhat suspicious Englishman—and hints at the complexity of the political landscape during the Revolutionary War. As Dennis makes his way to Trumbull’s home, he encounters a blend of wonder and adversity, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of duty, friendship, and the heart of a nation striving for freedom.
