Henry Livingston:
I never knew my father, he died when I was young, but I had heard he was a poet in Greenwich Village as well as being regular army. In trying to find his poetry, I discovered genealogy and Henry. Life will never be the same.

When I heard the story of Henry being the author of Henry Livingston, I decided to take my turn to try to prove it. Learning that Don Foster of Vassar specialized in finding the authors of anonymous texts, I was able to convince him to take on the project. My job was the low level research. My husband bought me a large microfilm machine that would scan into the computer. New York state sent me microfilm of the newspapers of Henry's time. For a year I lived in a time when George Washington was spoken of in the present tense. Getting to know Henry, and watching Don Foster help the world to know Henry, has been magical.

And thanks to the research on poetry, I did find father's poetry!
