About this eBook

Author McGovern, John, 1850-1917
Title David Lockwin—The People's Idol
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "David Lockwin—The People's Idol" by John McGovern is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around David Lockwin, a man caught in the throes of political ambition and personal turmoil, as he vies for a congressional seat while navigating complex relationships in Chicago Society, particularly centered around the intriguing Esther Wandrell and the rival George Harpwood. The opening of the novel introduces Esther Wandrell, a wealthy heiress, and establishes her significance in the lives of the young men in Chicago, particularly Lockwin and Harpwood, who are vying for her affection and social approval. Lockwin finds himself drawn into the world of politics and rivalry, partly motivated by his feelings for Esther and the desire to secure a future for himself and his adopted son, Davy. The narrative begins to depict Lockwin's struggle to balance his aspirations with the profound attachment he feels for Davy, who has recently fallen ill. As the political landscape becomes increasingly turbulent, with rival candidates engaging in shady tactics, Lockwin's personal and political worlds intersect in ways that set the stage for a deeply affecting tale of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of power.
