5.0 out of 5 stars
Americana Charmer,
By Rev. Gerald Jones (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton I, Emperor of the United States (Hardcover)
This volume is the actual history of a San Francisco eccentric in the mid 19th century. The writing is so well done that pages and chapters fly by with ease, so much so that you may want to pace yourself to prolong your enjoyment. Besides the sheer pleasure of the story, this book will give you great insight into both the everyday life of mid-nineteenth century California and the mind-set of a culture in which Mark Twain thrived as a writer and newspaper reporter. This is the sort of book one could use to instill a love for history and a lesson in tolerance in a child!

feels like fiction...,
By
This review is from: Norton I, Emperor of the United States (Hardcover)
The story of Emperor Norton feels like it should be fiction, but this really is his biography. I believe I ran into him as a character first in an issue of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. According to an interview I read later, Drury's book was one of his references.

Stranger Than Fiction,
By Taylor Hansen (Boston MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton I, Emperor of the United States (Hardcover)
Emperor Norton is truly one of the unknown legends of America.Drury has done a fantastic job at capturing the life of this enegmatic character in all of his glory, and his weakness. Was Joshua Norton mad, or was he truly inspired? Did he put one over on the people of San Fransisco, or the other way around? Drury lets you draw your own conclusions of this totally true character.
