Note to tech folks… this only offers about two minutes of the 15 hours Ted Lienhart is supposed to have given voice to. …… I have *just* finished listening to Volume One of “Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin”, and who’d have imagined such a quietly titled “collection” could inspire such a “Rarin’ to go” response?! ……Secretary Lyman Copeland Draper was certainly a rare bird! His own life’s story about wanting to capture these singular voices was .so. *heart-twisting*, as it was in his gifts that lay the seeds of his frustration. Given his remarkable ability to appreciate detail, his incapacity to blur details enough to get a “historical perspective” should not be a surprise……but how very frustrating it must have been for him! And how difficult for others to see this sort of propensity as anything but a weakness or flaw. …….What many little windows of grace have allowed his voice to reach us. Thanks to all who are making such rare glimpses possible!
