| Summary |
"The Pennant" by Everett T. Tomlinson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the lives of two boys, Walter Borden and Dan Richards, as they spend their summer days fishing and preparing for a local baseball game. The narrative highlights themes of friendship, ambition, and the challenges of personal growth as Dan aspires to further his education while navigating the realities of his farm life. At the start of the novel, Walter and Dan are enjoying a day of fishing on Six Town Pond, engaging in lighthearted banter that reveals their contrasting backgrounds. Walter comes from a more affluent family and is eager to support Dan, who harbors dreams of attending school and becoming a better baseball player. As they fish, readers gain insight into their friendship, their aspirations, and the idyllic rural setting they cherish. The opening establishes the foundation for the boys' journeys, setting the stage for the challenges they will face as the baseball season progresses and Dan's ambitions unfold.
