No, that's not an illustration of Roger, it's Henry Thoreau, who was thrown into jail for failure to pay taxes. Why? It was his national poll tax he didn't pay -- he refused to pay taxes to a government that tolerated slavery. A fine example of civil protest.
Anyway, the work that Roger has done on this book is simply staggering. It dominated his life for about three years, I believe. Now that it's done he can get back to other projects.
I got word yesterday that The American Story will be featured in USA Today next week in a back-to-school feature. Circulation of over 2 million. That is a Good Thing.
