Here I shall recall how I, an African American man of arts and journalist of late, have happened upon the life of one greater than my own, in the ever noble Queen, William Dorsey Swann. Yours - The Author 1888

If I were born in a different historical time period, what would my life be like? It’s a question I’ve pondered many times. It’s fun to imagine myself in a previous era, meeting famous figures from the past, witnessing monumental, world-changing events, living out historical fantasies.
