About

UNREMEMBERED – History has a way of remembering and forgetting certain people and events. Some may have chosen this path to anonymity and others may have simply been part of a fleeting fame, once recognized for their importance and influence, now lost to time. I’ve always been fascinated by these lesser-known personalities, the so-called other people, or obscure figures whose contributions to our past have been disregarded, neglected or simply put out of mind. These are the stories I want to tell. The stories of the unremembered.

Ken,

Something that might interest you and your readers — a new history of mid-Illinois.

Best,

Hi James. Looks like an interesting read. Curious the $29.95 price. Is this a color illustrated book? What’s the size? I’m always interested in the publishing process too. Ken

A blog like this should have a ‘random post’ button so you could kind of browse around.

Hi Ken

Regarding Claude Grahame-White and Pauline Chase – your blog is not entirely accurate. Pauline and Claude were possibly engaged, but they certainly were not married. Claude first wife was Dorothy Caldwell Taylor a New York heiress. They married in 1912. There has been one biography of Claude, I am now writing the second, due some time in 2025 if all goes well!

You are correct. The story you read was written before I did more research on Pauline Chase for my Unremembered 2 book. I’m glad you caught it.. When is your book coming out?
