Summary "A Prevaricated Parade" by W. C. Tuttle is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of quirky characters in a small town as they prepare for a Fourth of July celebration, filled with misunderstandings and humorous antics. The book likely explores themes of patriotism and the absurdities of human behavior in a lighthearted manner. The narrative follows Henry Clay Peck, who, along with his chaotic committee of friends, attempts to organize a grand parade for Independence Day. Their plans become increasingly convoluted as they squabble over leadership roles, misunderstandings abound, and unexpected events unfold. Notably, the arrival of an automobile—an anomaly in their rural setting—sparks excitement but also chaos, leading to a series of comedic mishaps, including a dramatic explosion and mistaken identities. Ultimately, the tale showcases the hilarity that ensues from their efforts to celebrate in a manner befitting the occasion, reinforcing the adage that the journey is often more entertaining than the destination itself.
