Join the authors of The Unknown Rockwell – the artist you thought you knew, told
by the man who knew him best…for a fascinating evening. Meet the man who inspired Norman Rockwell: Rockwell’s most illustrated Boy Scout, next door neighbor, and dear friend. Hear about stories of Norman Rockwell, the private man, from the one man who knew him in a way no one else could – James P. “Buddy” Edgerton. Authors Buddy Edgerton and Nan O’Brien remind us of the courage that got our country through an incredibly tough time in the past.  The book resonates with the memories of family histories told around the dining room table.  The book is a first person account of two families – the Edgertons, poor dairy farmers/the Rockwells, successful due to Norman’s talents – sharing a love of family, and a consideration of one another that created a closeness of friendship.  The book includes 32 pages of personal photos and photos from Norman’s modeling sessions, accompanied by the resulting illustrations.
