Description
In this collection of about 200 profiles, Townsend quoted a brief memoir typescript that Zoe provided and ran East Side excerpts, including a poem about longing to escape “turmoil and trouble” and “be rocked in a cradle again.” He made errors, for instance giving Zoe’s birth year as 1861 instead of 1860. But by 1913 she pretended to be around age 40; The East Side called him a “chronological fiend,” stealing her youth.
