American male, died 1800-1850, known for a single incident and/or creating a book. First name starts with N.

I’m pretty sure I know who this is.

I see one reserved in post #63, then two earned in post #65. Which makes three, with one asked in post #68, leaving me with a current total of two reserved.

74

Ah, I see. You never revealed the answers to the two IQs I couldn’t answer from your post 63. I was only looking for times you either asked or reserved a DQ.

75

My mistake; let me fix that. 1 was Mira Nair, 2 was Nelly.

I know it’s one of two people, but I don’t know the first names.

Heheh. Please ask all earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by 3pm EST tomorrow.
