I am the moron who burned his book research in July. I have read each and every one of your comments, and appreciate them all-both the supportive ones and the critical ones. I greatly regret what I did that night-I let my emotions get the best of me. I have revived my book project, albeit a scaled down version. My book will not be a comprehensive biography of William Henry Harrison. It will cover his brief presidency, illness, and untimely death, and the shock waves it sent through the frontier nation. I will probably self-publish it (not vanity publishing, though). Thank you all for your encouragement and criticism. The posters on this board are knowledgeable and kind.
