I had heard from a college professor that Tecumseh was thought to be buried in northeast Kansas or northwest Missouri near the KCI airport. Have you ever heard that?

Thanks

Great job. Enjoyed following. As regards Dutch, wasn’t a big fan at the time, but must concede that he certainly brought conservative thought into the limelight. Before that all I can remember were people and groups who seemed like cranks to me, Joe Pine and the John Burch Society come to mind, or the extremely intellectual Bill Buckley on Firing Line.

According to "Regret the Error" website, the Tribune never said anything about the error. The fact that no one knew how to work a Linotype machine at the paper contributed to the problem. There was a strike among the pressmen at the time.

Great work, Bob. Long but fulfilling.

My aunt Elinor also has just an “S” for her middle name.

What did the Chicago Tribune front page look like the day after the infamous mistake. What kind of correction was there?

The order of the presidents covered was random. My opinion of Ronald Reagan didn’t factor into this. I was happy that the last two to write were both very interesting people. I would have hated to have Taft or Fillmore be last.
