-It tells us how the river accompanied the boys __ the summer (or whatever season) nights.

My opinion: only on is correct, and in is wrong, because when you are talking about a night described by an adjective, you have to use on, not in/at. Do you agree?

@WBYeats,
I almost agree . . . "on summer nights," not "on the summer nights." Lose the definite article.
