Blind Oklahoma Senator Gore rises from poverty to Senate
The tale follows Wade Hampton Gore, a blind Mississippi youth who conquers hardship to become Oklahoma's first U.S. Senator. Through poverty, law study, and Populist activism, he cloths his ambition with grit, debates rivals, survives defeats, and wins a seat in Washington, celebrated by Lawton locals as his journey ends in triumph.
