As someone who spent a whole afternoon in beautiful Oxford England searching for C.S. Lewis' grave and whose children accuse her of spending their vacations "stalking John Wesley." (Shouldn't all Methodist children know their heritage by visiting all the John Wesley monuments in the U.S.?) I LOVED this book. My sister (formerly known as Kathy) and I want to sign up to join Sarah Vowell for her next vacation.
If you have a somewhat skewed sense of humor; an interest in history; are even somewhat interested in learning how the Republican Party of Lincoln became today's republican party; or are curious about the connection of Robert Todd Lincoln to the deaths of 3 (!) U.S. Presidents, you should read this book.

Poor, poor Robert Todd Lincoln. His life was just one big Sewall plaque.
