Romantic Life of Senator Curtis Traced Through Years
The narrative follows Charlie Curtis from boyhood racing to studies, law, and politics. He becomes Shawnee County prosecutor, serves in Congress and the Senate, marries Annie Baird, and rises as Lodge’s right hand. A distant daughter Leona Curtis Knight attended the Rhode Island delegation. Curtis showed early courage during Cheyenne attacks, trekking 57 miles to summon troops.
