“Young Man Axelbrod” is a short story by Sinclair Lewis.

“In Joralemon we call Knute Axelbrod “Old Cottonwood.” As a matter of fact, the name was derived not so much from the quality of the man as from the wide grove about his gaunt white house and red barn. He made a comely row of trees on each side of the country road, so that a humble, daily sort of a man, driving beneath them in his lumber wagon, might fancy himself lord of a private avenue.”
