More On The Weird And Wonderful Career History Of L. E. Waterman
Vintagepens posted a topic in Pen History
It's taken a while, but you can now read Lewis Edson Waterman's Long Strange Trip. Stranger than fiction -- did you know that the books the young Waterman was peddling were those of Fowler & Wells, leading promoters of Victorian quackery (Phrenology, food faddism, Spiritualism, and more)? And that he was a keen supporter of phrenology to the end of his life? Further, that he spent his early years in New York promoting a weightlifting fitness system? There's yet more to come, believe it or not.
