Still have some time…

49

I’m stuck. The “sorta kinda” and “in a way” clues don’t help.

16: Does that mean he held political office? Was he politically influential but not an office holder? Was he related to a politician?
17: Did he not actually participate in the protest movement? Was he used as an icon or symbol?
19: Does “looks like” mean he wasn’t actually the author? Was he ghost written?

Would anyone else like to use a reserved DQ to ask any of those?

The naturalized American clue may be offputting. This guy may well be thought of as an American, without most people realizing he was, oh, say, Canadian at birth.

Anyway, shot-in-the-dark time:

DQ: Are you Buffalo Bill Cody?

54

Yes, I suspect most people don’t realize this dude wasn’t born in the U.S.

But I am not Buffalo Bill Cody.

55

Right, then. I am, in fact,

Father Coughlin

The hateful, rabble-rousing Canadian-born radio priest of the Thirties: Charles Coughlin - Wikipedia

56

Another well played game, but I don’t think his notoriety made it across the pond. Never heard of him myself but I suspect the Prof. may have.

57

First I’ve heard of him.

Oh, yeah, I remember him. Another good one, EH.

Thanks, all. Next let’s go with
