I have not yet read his new Life Story book, but hope to do so. Horace has been a more significant part of US history than I had realized! Glad he was on the planet for so many of us to appreciate.

My oldest two college grads are both History majors, and there is a possible third one in the making. I really can't nag them to turn off the TV when they are glued to the History channel (well, maybe not exclusively) Looking forward to a good read!

He always made the subjects come alive and I'm grateful for his guidance many years ago!
