A Virtual Cemetery created by Bob Hufford

Magnum Opus

My best work. I put effort into every piece I write. Plenty of it. But these are extra special because they took a LOT of work, study, time, and revisions. Robert E. Lee required more than a month. Most of them are rewrites, pieces I did on folks who had an undeservedly bad bio. Rosa Ponselle, for example, was "Singer" with only years for her birth and death dates. If you notice that most deal either with the Confederacy, Ernest Hemingway, or Opera, that's no accident. I include Amy Winehouse because I have gotten more emails about her bio than all of the others I have ever done combined.
