Notes

1 Several members of the William Alanson White Community have suggested that the books is filled with inaccuracies. I only noticed one inaccuracy which I referenced in this review. Pam Newton, Saul Newton’s daughter, wrote that, “thanks to his meticulous research, I learned some things about my childhood” (2023).
