Nice genealogical investigative work
More than nice. He must have spent HOURS in libraries. Not to mention all the driving.... But still I envy him his location. Here in Oregon we have precisely SQUAT for historical information. Being in the NE has it’s downsides, but on the historical side, it is nothing short of priceless.
I swear, if I get to DC on my own sans kids and husband, I tell you, you’ll have to pry me out of the Library of Congress with a crow bar and serious money. Maybe the National Archives or the Smithsonian as well if I have the time. I am so jealous of all that history... just there, for the looking... it gives me chills at times.
Leo is doing the Nation a great service in digging this history up. We are sincerely in his debt.
