blogI’m heading across America, and offering a prize
I’ll be heading out across the country — to Atlanta, Nashville, Columbus (Ohio), Denver, Salt Lake City, and Portland (Oregon) — for readings and discussions and signings in bookstores. (To find out exactly where and when I’ll be appearing, you can see my schedule here.)
Now, a confession and an offer. There were two tiny factual errors in the hardcover which I’ve corrected in the paperback. To the first person who tells me what they were (at emailandersen@aol.com) — or, failing that, to whomever finds either one of them by April 1, 2008 — I’ll send a personally inscribed copy of the book plus the unabridged, 22-CD BBC Audiobooks America edition.
Happy hunting, and hope to see you soon.
I won’t be able to play, but this is a great idea for a contest! I hope to see you in Portland.

Yo! Kurtdog. Excellent dissertation last night; I was blown away, especially when you began to expound upon the Mexican War. Why don’t you come here more often? Yo homes,

I’d love nothing more than to come there more often.

Not far from Columbus, four miles north of what is now Hebron, at the Licking Summit, July 4, 1825 the first spade of earth was turned by Gov Clinton (new york) for the Ohio and Erie Canal. 89.3 miles to the east, in St. Clairsville ohio, the National road was restarted, going both East towards the river (wheeling) and west towards Columbus.
Small world?
I have to go to the library and see if I can get Heyday for a reread. Loved it the first time. Need some study the second time.
Only two errors? wow.

[...] I want to thank all the readers who’ve written in with what they thought were errors in Heyday. So far, none of them have successfully busted me. But I’m still accepting submissions. [...]
