Her book promises the “flesh-and-blood person” behind her fiction but delivers something far more cautious."

"His #comedic DNA is everywhere — The Dick Van Dyke Show, All in the Family, the riffs and routines of Johnny Carson and Larry David. His writers included Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Neil Simon and Woody Allen. Even so, when #author David Margolick interviewed the 2,000 Year Old Man for his new #biography of #SidCaesar, Brooks told him, “People are going to say, ‘Gee, this is really good and really interesting. Just one question, David: Who’s Sid Caesar?’”
Now the #book is out, and Margolick, a longtime New York Times and Vanity Fair #writer, has put the question to rest. When Caesar Was King: How Sid Caesar Reinvented #American #Comedy is a lively and thoroughly engrossing account of who Caesar was, why he was so important, and how he transformed #Americancomedy with his short-lived (1950-1954) but influential TV program #YourShowofShows."

📖 **Squanto: A Native Odyssey**
"_Prize-winning historian Andrew Lipman explores the mysteries that still surround Squanto: How did he escape bondage and return home? Why did he help the English after an Englishman enslaved him? Why did he threaten Plymouth’s fragile peace with its neighbors? Was it true that he converted to Christianity on his deathbed?_"
Today in Labor History November 9, 1851: Kentucky marshals abducted abolitionist minister Calvin Fairbank from Jeffersonville, Indiana, under the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. They took him to Kentucky to stand trial for helping a slave escape. Fairbank was an activist on the Underground Railroad. He spent over 17 years in prison and was lashed 35,000 times. He was pardoned in 1864. He was believed to have helped at least 47 people escape slavery. Fairbank wrote a memoir in 1890 called “Rev. Calvin Fairbank During Slavery Times: How He "Fought the Good Fight" to Prepare "the Way." He died in near-poverty, in Angelica, New York, in 1898, at the age of 81.
