...that the beet industry is the nucleus of your prosperity in this county; and I want to say to you that that is one of the crops we can grow in America, and I am in favor of giving it every protection." Fort Morgan and Sterling set the pattern for Governor Landon's rear-end appearances as his special carried him eastward. At State lines droves of local politicians got off and got on the Landon train, each with his message of good cheer and GOP success in November. If possible, at each stop Governor Landon tried...

It is divided into 54 episodes, each episode dated, but the dates related in an emotional rather than chronological pattern. Thus the first episode takes place in 1933, the second in 1934, the third in 1933, the fourth in 1902. These backward glances are intended to illuminate, in some consequential happening in the past, the buried influences that determine a character's conduct at the present moment. The glimpses...
