Coniston — Complete by Winston Churchill
"Coniston — Complete by Winston Churchill" is a novel published in 1906 that became the best-selling book in the United States that year. Set against the backdrop of New Hampshire politics, the story centers on a political boss character named Jethro Bass, based on real politician Ruel Durkee. Churchill drew from his own political experience as a state legislator to craft this historical novel, which sparked controversy—prompting a former U.S. Senator to
defend Durkee's reputation. The book's influence extended beyond literature, inspiring renamed locations throughout New Hampshire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
