Thank you for this interview! I just started the book.

If you haven't done so, please begin with Burr and make your way chronologically through Gore's so- called "Narratives of Empire", ending with Washington DC. You won't be sorry.

Great archive! But this isn likely 1984-that’s when Lincoln was published.

Ah, the good old days.
