About This Item
The Last Leaf: Voices of History’s Last Known Survivors (Prometheus Books, 2010), by Stuart Lutz, contains nearly forty interviews with the final survivor of, or last eyewitness to, historically important events. The book is written by author and historical document expert Stuart Lutz. The chapters include the last Civil War widows (the last only died eighteen months ago), the final American World War I soldier (he just turned 109), the last living person to have flown with Amelia Earhart, Houdini’s final stage assistant, the last suffragette, the final Iwo Jima flag raiser, the last designer of the ENIAC (the first computer), the final Medal of Honor recipient for actions on Pearl Harbor Day, the last pitcher to surrender a home run to Babe Ruth, the final employees of Thomas Edison and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and many more. All told, the stories contain hope, loss, bravery, innovation, exploration, determination and every other human trait. No book like The Last Leaf had ever been done. Signed books and inscribed copies are cheerfully done at no extra charge.
