Details
The Ohio Gang, an historical entertainment peopled with the characters of the day, follows Harding and his cronies from their Ohio childhoods to the smoke-filled rooms of the Republican convention and on to the White House. We meet Henry Daugherty, the attorney general with the disconcerting eyes; Jess Smith, tall and pigeon-toed; Nan Britton, the teenage girl who fell in love with Harding's campaign posters and who later became his mistress and mother to his illegitimate daughter; and America's first lady, the Duchess. Following the antics of the president and his administration, The Ohio Gang concludes with Harding's whistle-stop tour of the country—his final, despairing attempt to keep his presidency from coming undone.
An entertaining and immensely readable encapsulation of democracy American-style, The Ohio Gang is an historical tour de force in which the presidency is seen as a traveling medicine show.
