Byron Kilbourn

After many attacks on each other’s towns, the destruction of necessary bridges, and altercations that left people injured, Juneau and Kilbourn were finally able to put their differences aside and unite. In the aftermath, they realized that there was no money to be made from fighting—no one would want to come to a place filled with people disputing over which town is better.

What I didn’t pick up on through the first reading though was many smaller, underlying themes that required some thought/analysis. For the most part, this was lots of Romantic themes and ideas and how they were applied. For example, in Chapter 2, Victor is described…
