No, I don't think women should count. That might be a little overload!😂 Good question though! I hadn't even thought of that!!

Yep, the answer to my question is "no." I had a feeling this was like Emma's question about Hawthorne's shoe size! 🤣

Don't speak too quickly.😏 Will you ask Meg what her final answer is?
My answer is 9...added to Ruth's list are Thoreau and Julian Hawthorne.
Recap...Dorry: 4
Emma: 8
Meg: 9
Ruth: 7
So, after I posted this question I suddenly realized that I'm going to have to figure out the answer!! 😬 So, ever since then I've been researching, and researching, and RESEARCHING!! I'm sorry if there is actually more N. E. authors with mustaches but I got tired of researching!!😂 So here is the answer...
9!!!! Congrats, Meg!! I did not expect someone to actually guess right!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊

Thanks Allyson...that was a fun question! 😂
Well, I've actually got so many ideas for questions right now! 😂 But this one seems most appropriate after Allyson's...how tall was Thoreau?
Meg wrote: "Well, I've actually got so many ideas for questions right now! 😂 But this one seems most appropriate after Allyson's...how tall was Thoreau?"5' 7"
Meg wrote: "Well, I've actually got so many ideas for questions right now! 😂 But this one seems most appropriate after Allyson's...how tall was Thoreau?"Oh goodness!! 5' 9"?
Dorothy wrote: "I agree with Emma. 5'7""😊 Good choice. We're always right!
Dorothy wrote: "I agree with Emma. 5'7""That would be awesome! That would mean that I'm the same height as Thoreau. ;)
I'll go with 5'8".So far,
Thoreau's height ✔
Hawthorne's shoe size ✔
N.E.L. author's mustachios ✔
Feuds ✔
Hat sizes
favorite food and drink (except for Thoreau's fish & water)
Favorite book or authors
favorite seasons (Hawthorne's is autumn, Longfellow too-?))
✔- This is making trivia more fun.
Are you saying we need to fill in what's left, Ruth? 😂

Love those, Ruth!!
Haha! I like this quirky side of trivia.
Emma & Allyson,
It all started with the curve ball your father threw
in to the group. 😄
I honestly never expected to learn these things,
but it makes authors more human or relatable.
