The American Senate

An excellent C-SPAN video of an in-depth interview with Richard Baker, Historian Emeritus of the US Senate




I've downloaded the book for my summer reading. It is available in kindle and hardback versions.

Richard Baker

Richard Baker was the Senate Historian, the first ever. He retired this August. I enjoyed - and continue to dip into his brilliant book "200 Notable Days: Senate Stories 1787 to 2002". For many years he opened up the weekly luncheon of the Senate Democratic caucus with a brief anedote from the history of the Senate. These are now available on the Senate website.

C-SPAN recently filmed a conversation with Mr Baker
