"whose husband had suggested they were boring and not worth keeping."
You must be kidding? This 'husband' must be nuts. LOL.
Another excuse to play the Ashokan Farewell - thanks.
An interesting side note to this item is that the very successful historian of World War II, Stephen Ambrose, wrote his PhD dissertation on Upton. It is quite interesting and still available at Amazon. Upton's own work is out of print but still available in libraries. These books would be of interest primarily to specialists.
