The
pulsating strength of ambition, tempered by the witchery of love, marks
this story of the advancement of a wide-awake, big-hearted young
farmhand to the high post of governor of a great state. Rural simplicity
and impotence are metamorphosed into power by the magic of the
opportunities offered by life in a great city. The sweetest and
tenderest of love stories adds to the charm of the book, for the
delicate child to whom the farmer boy tells fairy tales to calm her
"fraidments" never outgrows the love she early bestows upon him, and in
the homely phraseology of the lad's benefactor, Farmer Brumble to the
end is "Dave's little gal."
