It follows a Dutch-American villager who encounters mysterious strangers in the Catskill Mountains, drinks their liquor, and falls into a deep sleep. When he awakens, twenty years have passed and the world around him has transformed dramatically. He returns to find his village changed, filled with unfamiliar faces, and discovers he has slept through the American Revolution. The tale explores themes of time, change, and nostalgia in early America.
