FEATURES MEMBERS
McCormick Family Office
Sargent explored many curiosities, including a special study on the Golden Age of space exploration for the McCormick Observatory given by Leander McCormick. Through this study, he developed his interest in the McCormick family—and the seeds to his upcoming book were planted.
Sargent M. McCormick wrote a book about the McCormick brothers, Cyrus, Leander, and William, and the invention of the McCormick reaper. Telling the story between the two dueling brothers, Sargent’s goal is to eliminate the distance between the audience and the story. Based upon his plan, Sargent will write a political satire about Morrisania.”
