Modern Chivalry

Modern Chivalry: Containing the Adventures of Captain John Farrago and Teague O'Regan, His servant is a rambling, satirical American novel by Hugh Henry Brackenridge, a Pittsburgh writer, lawyer, judge, and justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

The hero, Captain John Farrago, is a frontier Don Quixote who leaves his Western Pennsylvania farm on a whim, to "ride about the world a little, with his man Teague at his heels, to see how things were going on here and there, and to observe human nature".

The book is arguably the first important work of fiction about the American frontier and called "to the West what Don Quixote was to Europe".

Henry Adams called it "a more thoroughly American book than any written before 1833."
