About this listen
Bigger, newer, faster. Demolish and rebuild, then demolish and rebuild again. Smoke, soot, and noise are the badges of prosperity, and growth is for growth's sake.
The third book in what would become known as Booth Tarkington's "growth trilogy" is about a small midwestern town rapidly transforming into a modern industrial city. Young Dan Oliphant dreams of an expanding Midland, and sinks his heart, soul, and modest inheritance into building a bustling addition, but faces resistance from the town's business leaders and his own family, ultimately leading to destruction.
