The Boys from Canaan: Making It and Losing It in the New Republic

By Bryan R Dunlap

In 1801, two brothers on an upstate New York farm promised each other to make "a total change of purpose and of life, from the track of the plow to the path of literature ad of reputation."Thomas and Henry Warner kept that promise. Both became educated urban professionals. And both learned that the path to success runs both ways.The Boys from Canaan traces the brothers' lives though a time when a vigorous new nation's enterprising people and broader individual opportunities were yielding impressive personal accomplishments--often at the price of insecurity, failure, and loss.
