MORE EMPEROR NORTON PROJECTS UNDERWAY

Regarding last week's item on Emperor Norton and his seal, John Lumea writes:

Thanks so much for picking up my recent piece for The Emperor's Bridge Campaign, on David Hutchinson's donation of Emperor Norton ephemera to the Odd Fellows. I'm still fascinated by that discovery.

Our bridge-naming project now is positioned as more of a "Campaign within the Campaign." We've been building out a larger cultural-historical mission that includes a variety of projects intended to honor the life and advance the legacy of the Emperor.

John is the President of the organization promoting the legacy of our favorite eccentric, Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. Below is a list of their current projects, all quite worthy. Bibliophiles and researchers should take note of their Biographical Reprint Project, which will revive two long out-of-print classic book-length biographies of Emperor Norton. -Editor
