1967 Warren City Directory

1983 Warren City Directory
 

The popularity of Russell was last graphed in 2015.  Time to take another look


Russell was an impressively steady performer during most of the 20th century, spending 83 years in the top 100 and peaking at #48 in 1904.  His popularity started to wane during the 1980s but levelled off around 2005.  He briefly looked as though he might be embarking on a comeback, but those hopes appear to have been dashed.

Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Thomas Rockwell

 
A one-hit wonder, apparently, as an author.







New York Times, 10/9/2024
Thomas Rockwell, who grew up as a character in the illustrations that his father, Norman Rockwell, created for The Saturday Evening Post and later became a successful author of children’s books, including “How to Eat Fried Worms,” a gross-out novel devoured by millions of grade-school students, died on Sept. 27 in Danbury, Conn. He was 91.
