My pal Fritz Holznagel alerted to me to this delightful find online.
Here's a screenshot:
Fritz found his, then I searched for mine and got the above result.
Years ago we both wrote several entries for The Dictionary of American History, a ten-volume reference work published by Charles Scribner's Sons. It was an interesting job, although toward then end things got a little crazy because the final edits were happening during the summer when we were in and out of town on vacation.
Anyway, up the street at the local county library they have a set. I went in to see it one time, just to look up my own name. It looked pretty official.
Now you can buy them, for petessakes, as if someone would pay up to $9 for an encyclopedia entry.
