Living Legacy: A New Life of Noah Webster

This month saw the publication of an important new biography of Noah Webster, The Forgotten Founding Father: Noah Webster's Obsession and the Creation of an American Culture, by Joshua Kendall.

The book is getting attention from coast to coast. You can read the Los Angeles Times review of the book here, and hear author Kendall in an extensive interview on the public radio station WNYC in New York City.

There's even a video of a walking tour of Noah Webster's New Haven from The New Haven Register with the author.
