Abraham and the Three Angels, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, ca. 1770

I flipped through a book at the library (I didn't get it because I already have several checked out and more on hold, but I hope to come back to it) Did Lincoln Own Slaves? : and Other Frequently Asked Questions About Abraham Lincoln. I flipped through it, and came to the title question. The answer, as I already knew, was no, definitively not.

The next question and answer I found interesting- "So why do we keep asking?" The author said that the country used to worship founding fathers such as Washington and Jefferson who owned slaves and, in Jefferson's case, fathered children with them, and now that we've reexamined how we should think of and teach about them, we start to be suspicious of our other national heroes.

And that's good, he says! We should never take hagiographies for granted! We should look into who these people actually were rather than unthinkingly calling them saints! Lincoln specifically was flawed and did some things unworthy of idolizing- it's just that on this particular issue, we have a definitive answer.

(I would have added "Also, lost causers want to prove him a hypocrite," but probably for the best, the author was assuming the questions were in good faith.)

It’s hereeee! It has arrived! My hardback proof copy of the Dracula Daily Sketch Collection! My housemate spotted a few text issues to fix on the back cover, but otherwise it looks so gooood! My tiny Art Child!

Hoping to get a paperback proof sorted next, then onto seeing how best to sell them!

I saw your DD graph asking for other ideas, so... if you still have any desire to do further Dracula graphs I'd be curious to see how the word count per character breaks down (not how much they speak but how much they write. Adding all their diary entries together, etc.). Obviously Mina wins by default from having typed up the whole novel but outside of that detail, how much did each person author?

Thank you so much for this ask! What an interesting data set this one is! Lots of unexpected information.

So first off, if you just want to visualize the author breakdown, ta-dahhhh!

Seward was staunchly in the lead, talking his head off and burning through those wax recording drums like no ones business. Poor Mina for having to transcribe it all. In total his words made up 39.3% of Dracula. Nearly 40%!

Seward unsurprisingly had the most individual entries overall at 47, and had the longest streak for being the narrator in an entry at 10 days (09/02 - 09/11) with Mina following right behind at 9 days (08/10 - 08/19)

Mina surprisingly was 3rd overall both in word count and number of entries. She wasn't even in the top 3 for most words in a day which is as follows.

1 - Seward October 3rd - 9942 words

2 - Seward September 29th - 7206 words

3 - Jonathan October 3rd - 5944 words

Van Helsing only had 9 entries total but still came in number 4 for word count, in front of Lucy. It's interesting to note that the amount a person writes doesn't correlate to the amount of time they are being written about/appear. Which is why Arthur and Quincey don't even beat out the newspaper clippings for words, lol.

There are lots of authors we only hear from a single time, like Sister Agatha. So I've decided to make a small fry pie as well. (Authors under ~500 words)

The captain of the Demeter and Van Helsing both had more days written than Lucy! Though I didn't break up number of entries, like when the log of the Demeter had 3 or 4 on one day or Lucy wrote a letter and in her diary.

If there is any data I haven't presented here that you're interested in feel free to tag me or shoot me an ask like this lovely person did!
