In "The Depot Master," the story is set in the fictional New England town of Wellmouth and revolves around the character of Amos Tappan, the depot master. Amos is a likable and mild-mannered man who becomes entangled in various humorous and heartwarming situations as he carries out his duties at the railway depot.The novel explores the relationships and interactions between Amos and the townspeople, including the various travelers who pass through the depot. It is a slice-of-life story that captures the charm of small-town life in early 20th-century New England.Joseph Crosby Lincoln's writing style is characterized by its affectionate and humorous portrayal of characters and situations. He had a keen sense of regional humor and dialect, and his novels often celebrated the quirks and idiosyncrasies of life in New England.While "The Depot Master" may not be as well-known as some of Lincoln's other works, it remains a representative example of his style and his ability to capture the essence of small-town life in New England during his time. If you enjoy gentle, character-driven stories set in quaint and charming settings, you may find "The Depot Master" to be an enjoyable read.
