Joshua where are you?
A 16 year old named Joshua sent me an email with a bunch of suggestions for book I am working on now, The Greatest Presidential Stories Never Told. When I tried to respond to say thank you, my emails were bounced back to me. So, Joshua, here's my note, hope you get it:
Dear Joshua,I am delighted to know that you have enjoyed my first two books, and I appreciate all the suggestions you have made for the new one. Some of the ideas you have noted I was aware of, others I will take a look into. The assassination attempt on TR is already part of a story that will appear in the book about how one speech killed a president (Harrison) and one speech saved a president’s life (the folded up manuscript in his pocket slowed down the bullet that went into TR.)
If any of your ideas lead directly to a story in the book, I’ll be sure to let you know.
How wonderful that you are interested in history. I fell in love with history when I was about 12, and for nearly four decades it has continued to fascinate me. I hope it will do the same for you.
Stay well...
Rick Beyer
