Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Angel of Lonesome Hill; A Story of a President" by Frederick Landis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1910. This narrative delves into the life of John Dale, an elderly farmer, who seeks the aid of the President of the United States to secure a pardon for his wrongfully accused son. The book explores themes of justice, redemption, and the profound connections between ordinary people and their leaders. The story unfolds in a small, rural setting where time seems to stand still, centered around Lonesome Hill and the lives of its simple inhabitants, especially John Dale and his wife, who is affectionately known as "The Angel of Lonesome Hill." The narrative intertwines Dale’s ambitions and struggles with the political machinations of the time, leading him to Washington, D.C. Seeking justice for his son, Dale's journey is filled with emotional depth as he confronts a powerful figure—the President—who becomes a symbol of hope against a backdrop of social inequities. The novel captures the essence of compassion, human connection, and the impact of one's dreams, culminating in a poignant moment that highlights the enduring bond between the past and present.
