| Summary | "The Life of John Worth Kern" by Claude G. Bowers is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and political journey of John Worth Kern, an influential figure in Indiana's history, detailing his rise from a modest upbringing to a prominent political leader and U.S. senator. Bowers' narrative is likely intended to highlight Kern's character, achievements, and the lessons from his life that can inspire future generations. The opening portion of the biography sets the stage by discussing Kern's early life and family background. It begins with a sketch of the Indiana wilderness during the 1840s, where Kern’s father established a medical practice, and continues to describe Kern's childhood experiences, education, and early interest in politics. Bowers emphasizes Kern's precocious abilities and active engagement in political discourse from a young age, illustrating how his upbringing influenced his eventual path as a Democratic leader. The text introduces key moments, such as his early speeches and the formation of his political identity during the Lincoln-Douglas debates, establishing the foundation for his later influence in the state and national politics.
