Raymond. Always Raymond.

Elizabeth was the oldest of seven siblings and Raymond was the youngest. Elizabeth remained his primary confidante throughout his life and because they were rarely together, much of their conversation was by letter and we are able to share in their confidences. While Elizabeth was living an artist’s life, Raymond was immersed in Progressive Era politics. You may not know his name, but his fingerprints are all over modern American government.  Today’s guest, Dr. James Clark, first discovered Raymond while researching Claude Pepper. That’s the launching point that takes this podcast through many famous figures and events. Want more from the clever Dr. Clark? Check out his books Intrigued by Raymond?
