Politics & Prose -- Kenneth D. Ackerman ("Young J. Edgar") -- Notes:

• Photo Library Home Page: [Click here] to go to Bruce Guthrie's Photo Library home page.
• Description of Pictures: Kenneth D. Ackerman, "Young J. Edgar" (Carroll & Graf, $28.95): Attorney General Palmer chose his 24-year-old assistant J. Edgar Hoover to lead a series of nationwide “raids against terrorism” in 1919. Ackerman, a lawyer and writer, explains how Hoover was chosen immediately afterward to head the FBI, despite the general condemnation of the raids as hysterical and unnecessary.

• 2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." Photos taken this year: 225,000. User page views this year: 13,500.
