Maggie and Cornell Atkins discover a packet of humorous and often unflattering stories about the residents of Sloville in the lining of a battered steamer trunk as they prepare the item for sale at Ye Olde Antiques & Junk Shoppe. An embarrassing story about Mayor Terwilliger J. Perkins, previous owner of the trunk, leads Maggie and Cornell to conclude the mayor had hidden the papers prepared by Professor Basil C. DeMilde. Before his untimely death, the professor expected to present Sloville's history at the village's corrected sesquicentennial anniversary, improperly celebrated several years earlier. But as readers accompany Maggie and Cornell's progress through the stories, they will conclude that other down-right stupid residents surely wished the material to be forever lost in the northern reaches of Canada, just as the mayor had hoped.

Daggett as he stumbles into Snake Creek Valley in 1826 and meets Tahushiba who, with the help of the Dammum tribe medicine man, nurses Cyril to health with the use of a 30-inch leather thong. Commiserate with Civil War widow Sara Daggett, as she teaches the dim-witted Voitack family. Cheer for Prather Nilwood as he survives the Great Depression and befriends those in need. Learn of live in the isolated community as World War II veteran Victor Daggett and his father Joshua study clothing, youngsters and females.
