Description: NELSON DEWEY, an old man soon to die, gets up in the early-morning hours to make his way to the state capital to greet President Grover Cleveland. In the moonlit room before dawn he looks into the mirror and sees there, past the bearded old face, the youthful features that once were his-a young man's face, filled with hope and promise. What had happened to that young man? What happened is the theme of this big, finely detailed historical novel, the story of fifty years in the life of the man who was Wisconsin's first governor. Young, idealistic, filled with dreams for himself, his family, and the raw but beautiful wilderness surrounding him, Nelson Dewey made one fatal step-his marriage to the spoiled, willful Kentucky beauty Kate Dunn, who envisioned a gay social whirl as the governor's lady. Frustrated in her ambitions, the embittered Kate brought misery to her family, her husband, and herself. THE SHADOW IN THE GLASs tells this story in moving, beautifully conceived terms.
