Summary: "A Gentleman from Mississippi" by Wise, Rhodes, and Toombs is a novel based on the popular play of the same title, likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the political and social dynamics in early 1900s Washington, D.C., featuring the honorable Colonel William Langdon as he grapples with the intricacies of Senate politics, aided by his young secretary, Bud Haines. The narrative explores themes of honesty, corruption, and the clash between idealism and practical politics. The opening of the novel introduces us to Colonel Langdon, a newly elected Senator from Mississippi, who is optimistic and unaware of the corrupt machinations of Washington politics. As Langdon arrives in the capital, he is met with both adulation and manipulation from seasoned political players like Senator Stevens and Senator Peabody. Simultaneously, Congressmen and lobbyists, including Charles Norton, are portrayed as scheming figures who aim to exploit Langdon's simplicity and honesty for personal gain. The dynamics are further complicated by Langdon's two daughters, Carolina and Hope Georgia, who embody the aspirations and challenges of women navigating the high society of Washington. As the characters are introduced, the stage is set for a gripping tale of intrigue and moral dilemmas within the political arena. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
