Across the Spectrum:The Interdisciplinary Life and Letters of John G. Neihardt (‘Flaming Rainbow’)

Dr. John G. Neihardt University of Nebraska Lincoln, Nebraska

Your appearance on the Dick Cavett television show, April 27th, was a thrilling experience for me. I loved every word you spoke — When you chuckled I chuckled.

I felt excitement when you said "Forward is the direction". Infact, I jotted down several of your sayings — I could not help but feel your great spiritual power.

You see, I have a lively interest in you, because in March I did a program on you for a few friends.

I am hoping that the story of your life will come out in book form. I want, so much, to have the privilege of owning and cherishing that book.

Mrs. Neihardt must have been an exceptionally talented artist. The great Rodin accepted only the potentially great. I keep wondering if she might have known Malvina Hoffman, who was also a student of the master.

Thank you for the many hours of reading pleasure that you have given to me.
