Shepard, Odell, Pedlar's Progress, the life of Bronson Alcott (Boston, Little, Brown and Company, 1937)

Lyrical in a way that does not annoy me (as did the early part of Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln). No footnotes! and the author is too preachy against Calvinism, but a beautifully written book. Have read to about p105 at this point.


Shepherd, Jack, Cannibals of the Heart: A Personal Biography of Louisa Catherine and John Quincy Adams (New York, McGraw-Hill 1980)

A sad portrait, marked by the suicide of one son, George Washington Adams, and the failure and early death, helped along by alcohol, of another, John Adams 2nd.
