Max von Side-Eye If you haven't read it, I highly recommend "Fifty-nine in '84" by Edward Achorn about Hoss Radbourn winning 59 games in 1884. Great insight to the early days of baseball.
James Laverty You need many more Abraham Lincoln books!! Only one?? It is a good one for sure, but try some written by Edward Achorn or David Donald
This Day in Buster… February 1, 1966 Joseph Frank “Buster” Keaton passes away at his Woodland Hills home at the age of 70. A Service of Memory was held at the Church of the Hills. His influence in comedy and film has inspired generations and will continue to do so for many more.
