Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"All-Wool Morrison" by Holman Day is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set in contemporary American life, focusing on the character of Stewart Morrison, the mayor of Marion, a city punctuated by political tension and a rapidly changing social landscape. The narrative unveils Morrison's struggles with the expectations placed upon him as a public figure, the pressures of his business heritage, and his complex feelings towards local politics and personal relationships. The beginning of the novel introduces the crucial day when the new legislative session commences, capturing the bustling atmosphere at St. Ronan's mill where Morrison works. We meet various characters who surround Morrison, including the steadfast Mac Tavish, his paymaster, and the ambitious Colonel Shaw, who calls for Morrison against the mill's traditional rule of only allowing visitors once he has come from work. The story sets up a brewing conflict as Morrison, known for his adherence to business principles, navigates the politically charged environment while grappling with his burgeoning feelings for Lana Corson, who has returned to Marion amidst this turmoil. The stage is set for a dramatic exploration of duty, ambition, and personal connection in an evolving society.
