i haven't even talked about the fact that henry folger was a regular golf partner of his boss, john d. rockefeller. there are a lot of other stories in there. unfortunately as a collector, henry had a hard time stopping to collect to sit down and write the stories. he wrote very well in his freshman year at amherst, he wrote letters to his parents comment and that is where i got an idea how well he could write. he wrote about a 1619 book which was the pirated compilation of nine quartos of shakespeare. he called it the most precious book in the world. resubmitted that article to four american magazines that rejected it, finally was published by the new outlook. we can only imagine what he might have written down had he had more time, but luckily he left the some of those stories. >> was their only home in brooklyn? the second question, did that have crossed the paths of the rosenbaums. >> the folgers were married in elizabeth, new jersey and their early years they lived with emily's parents in elizabeth, new jersey and there were already standard oil refineries in that area. some of t

one week after henry graduated from are college, he started working for john d. rockefeller at the standard oil company. he started as a that keys call clerk. he was one of the few college graduates in standard oil. he resigned after 49 years in the firm. his last two positions were president and chairman of the board of standard oil company of new york. he was also a director of standard oil company of new jersey. now, socony became mobile, standard oil company of new jersey became exxon. so you have an idea of how well he did since he heavyily -- he followed rockefeller's advice and to invest heavily in the firm. so i was saying that you go where story leads you. one of the archives that i had to visit was the rockefeller around vives in new york. another one i had to create was the art archives at the university of texas. so i had made a conscious decision that i would not only write about how folger spent his money, but how he earned it. i thought that would make sense, and it would be interesting, it would fill in a gap for some readers. so those who are par

later reports was he wanted to sleep with henry john oberlin's wife or other local women. that was not true. he wanted to be close to the action. most of the american raids were at the northern part of the island. here is newport down here on the southern end of the island. here is the house. most of the american troops were here and here at the northern part of the island. they would make nightly raids and annoy the british guard houses. occasionally, they would come over with troops. he wanted to be close to the action in case there was a real raid. prescott ordered most of his troops to be posted in the northern part of the island. he wanted to be closer to the action. barton received permission from superiors to gather troops and boats to execute his plan. his party consisted of 48 men. barton, five other officers, and 42 other soldiers. the steerer for the boat was a native american from massachusetts. one of his men who assisted him with african-american. both had experiences with whale boats. i will not go into details of the raid. you have to read the book for that

henry clay, john c. calhoun, and daniel webster were senate leaders but never majority or minority leaders for the simple fact the positions did not then exist. as then-professor woodrow wilson wrote in the senate no one may speak for his party as well as for himself. no one exercises the special trust of acknowledged leadership. so you had a lot of different people who were prominent but the position of leader at the time did not exist. now the origins of majority and minority leader are the product of several historical factors. perhaps the main reason the two positions developed was in response to the rise of the activist president. that is to say that the office of party leader developed largely in response to the need for the senate to be able to work with and react to the president's legislative agenera. -- agenda. and this notion really began to take hold in the early part of the 20th century, right around world war i. in the latter half of the 19th century, the agenda for the senate floor was set
