The Gentleman From Indiana is a novel written by Booth Tarkington, first published in 1899. The story revolves around John Harkless, a young newspaper editor who moves from the city to rural Indiana to start a new life. Harkless quickly becomes embroiled in local politics, as he tries to expose corruption and bring about change in the community. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Cynthia, who is the daughter of one of the town’s most powerful and influential men. As Harkless fights against the forces of greed and dishonesty, he must also navigate the complex social dynamics of small-town life, where personal relationships and family ties can be just as important as political alliances. The novel is a powerful exploration of the struggle between idealism and pragmatism, and the tension between individual ambition and the common good. Tarkington’s vivid descriptions of the Indiana landscape and his nuanced portrayal of the characters make The Gentleman From Indiana a timeless classic of American literature.The mob was carefully organized. They had taken their time and had prepared everything deliberately, knowing that nothing could stop them. No one had any thought of concealment; it was all as open as the light of day, all done in the broad sunshine. Nothing had been determined as to what was to be done at the Cross-Roads more definite than that the place was to be wiped out. That was comprehensive enough; the details were quite certain to occur. They were all on foot, marching in fairly regular ranks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
