I also liked the idea of comparing Booth and Ahab. Very fun.

I thought the comparison of Booth and Ahab was a fun thought also and a great comparison between the hatreds that can control men's actions. It also reminded me of my teaching days when, for several years, I team taught history with a fellow teacher interacting with English and literature appropriate to the same period that we were studying in history. It's amazing how much depth you can bring to each subject when teaching in tandem.

Thanks, Jenny and brtmchl!

Laurie, I bought the new Kate Chase book but haven't read it yet. I read another book about her last year, which I enjoyed, but I think I'll like this one even better.

I am loving American Queen - and I am changing my opinion of Kate Chase. A very interesting lady who put up with a lot from the men in her life and chose to be as strong as they. I am also getting a good lesson in late-19th century politics.
