Excellent article. I'd love to go to Cross Plains one day. It's on the list.

I don't live that far but haven't made it yet. Maybe next year. Life has been keeping me away...

It's definitely a goal of mine. I probably won't be able to make it to a Howard Days unless the stars align just right.
But that article is good. I checked the author out and he seems to reference Howard a lot in past articles. I also discovered that I read a book of his in the past "The Big Scrum: How Teddy Roosevelt Saved Football"

That was a nice article, and I especially like that the Cross Plains English Teacher is exposing the kids to Howard's work.

My youngest daughter keeps telling me we need to go to Howard Days but last summer was impossible and this summer my oldest got married...maybe next year if any of the girls are still coming home then.

Miller is a longtime fan of S&S and REH. Scroll through these articles about him/referencing him at The Cimmerian blog: leogrin.com/CimmerianBlog/category/other-authors/john-j-miller/Miller and Michael Dirda are the highest profile REH fans in the litcrit realm. They fight the good fight. |
