He was a guru and a leader in what we call New Thought.
An expert marksman.
He's just this sort of fascinating, almost zealot-like character of Gilded Age America who, you know, 1908, 1912, people were throwing his name around as a potential presidential candidate.
I mean, he was that well-known as a business person, as an advertiser, as an anti-labor zealot.
He was this major figure in this period of American history that there's nothing out there about him.
There's two or three books about his daughter, Marjorie, who was for a large part of her life the wealthiest woman in the United States, but really nothing about him.
So that's what I'm working on.
And I've been to the Post Family Archives in Ann Arbor on a bunch of just zip in to the archives for two or three days and sit back out taking photos of basically every document in the collection I have on my computer.
So I'm in the middle of processing all that.
To produce what I hope will also be a book, sort of a general reading book that's going to use C.W.
Post as a lens into sort of that Gilded Age and progressive era at the sort of the birth of what we now consider modern America.
You're welcome.
Thank you for having me.
I appreciate it.
