Hopefully the quality of this is sufficient for your tastes. Also, this is free and open source so you can give as many copies as you like to others and its just so much more convenient for people’s busy lives. When we read our Founding Fathers, we do not need to be islands anymore. Islands of knowledge and thus, frustrated because of how few others are willing to make the time. Especially with as deeply important as all of it is.
Some of the works I complete (which are collaborative efforts) I come away thinking that they will be re-created by someone as a solo recording and with most likely much higher quality. Rush’s autobiography is one of those items. I don’t know when but I have a feeling this will be redone solo some day.
On that note, I must say that while I may not agree with some of his leftward leanings — Lin Manuel Miranda deserves every accolade for his musical take on Ron Chernow’s Hamilton bio. :)
One of my favorite books I bought from a used bookstore is a collection of written letters and correspondences between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Fascinating friendship. They had their tiffs to be sure — went a decade plus without speaking…only to reconcile…and die on the SAME day.
To think: BOTH died on the 4th of July, 1826…
