Produced by Brian Janes, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Statesmen Snowbound" by Robert Fitzgerald is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins with a funeral, setting the tone for exploring the lives and characters of various politicians and their experiences. Key figures include the recently deceased Senator Thurlow and a cast of legislators attending the service, each embroiled in the trials and tribulations of political life and personal recollections. At the start of the story, the narrator is part of a delegation accompanying the remains of Senator Thurlow to Kentucky for burial. As they travel through rural terrain, reflections on the burdens of public service emerge, mixed with rich descriptions of the journey and the welcoming atmosphere at the Thurlow estate. The funeral itself is depicted with somber detail, underlining a growing sense of community among the attendees amidst the biting cold and unfolding blizzard. As the setting shifts to the train journey back, conversations among senators and congressmen reveal a deeper exploration into character dynamics and political satire, foreshadowing a blend of storytelling and anecdotal narratives that characterize the book.
