Comments on: The Man Who (Almost) Never Succeeded http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2012/10/the-man-who-almost-never-succeeded Photo/video thoughts from the largest rental house Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Clyde http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2012/10/the-man-who-almost-never-succeeded/comment-page-1#comment-24127 Clyde Sun, 28 Oct 2012 12:58:04 +0000 http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/?p=9564#comment-24127 Great article-I have often wondered about the man, as I grew up around a delightful elderly lady and spinster by the name of Anna Louise Morse, who was a friend of the family, and christened by us as Aunt Louise, (although she was actually no blood relation). She was directly descended from Samuel, but had a delightful personality which was apparently quite unlike that of her illustrious forebear.

I really like your blog, it is nice to read something that contains actual information :) there is so much rambling on so many other blogs (ok I admit, sometimes I like to read rambing it seems, hmm now that doesn't sound so gread, I think I have to check if I'm still sane. ok I think I'll leave now... :) thank you that was very interesting.

And I never know what to expect! You might enjoy David McCullough's "The Greater Journey," in which he tells the stories of several interesting Americans who spent time in Paris in the mid 19th century. Morse gets a fair amount of time, as does Cooper, but there are many other interesting characters also. Well worth the read! Thanks, Ken K Roger,

Great job! I would encourage anyone who hasn't read Petzval and Voigtlander to do so also. Thank you, Roger. And people think history is dull and dry. Great job!
