"Election Day, November 2, 1948, when the underdog from Missouri was elected President of the United States over the man on the wedding cake. A book by turns sad, nostalgic, funny, pungent, A Flag Full of Stars is peopled with unforgettable characters, as different from one another as the sections of the coutnry from which they are drawn." "Most of Robertson's novels were set in Ohio, and the fictional town of Paradise Falls, Ohio, figured in many of them. Paradise Falls was also the title of one of his longest novels. Additionally, much of Robertson's fiction was set in the recent past, or a few generations past. His 1964 novel A Flag Full of Stars, for instance, was set during the 1948 U. S. Elections. Like John O'Hara, Robertson often linked novels that were not substantially related by including brief allusions to characters and events in his previous works." (From Wikipedia).
