In the winter of 1860-61, one man, William Henry Seward, Republican Senator from New York (the presumptive favorite for the 1860 Republican nomination for president; defeated by Lincoln on the third ballot), labored mightily to effectuate his plan to save the Union. Because of history’s (and historians’) heavy bias to portray Lincoln as almost a saint (see, for example, Jon Meacham’s “And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle” (Random House 2022)), Seward’s prodigious efforts have either been ignored, given short shrift, or looked upon as something less than honorable. This short book – based upon original archival research and a comprehensive review of secondary sources – tells the story of Seward’s efforts. Counter-factual history is always an iffy business. But Seward’s “plan” did help to keep the Upper South States in the Union during the months before the president-elect became the president. And had his counsel been followed after March 4th, perhaps the course of American History would have played out very differently.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   With these high gas prices, will corporate businesses start letting their employees work remotely from home?  Plus…posted notes, are they still the must have at your desk or in your pocket?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Newman navigated race, class, and belonging in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the U.S.   Newman shares what it was like to grow up in a family shaped by a mix of war, pogroms, serving in the Russian Army, surviving Auschwitz, and silence that spoke volumes in the new book, DON’T BE A BIGSHOT.  The title comes from Rich’s grandmother Sara, who used it on her husband whenever he got too full of himself.  “Don’t be a bigshot” was a rebuke, a reminder, and in the end, the quiet moral center of the book (and Rich himself). During interviews, Rich Newman would discuss:The cast of characters who formed his family and influenced his life and persona.  Friendships across racial lines during a volatile period of NYC history – and what it taught him early on.
