I love reading about the people of history, and most them are written through organization and analysis of letters and journals. Theodore Roosevelt was a prodigious writer (sending a few letters per week from your ranch in the Dakota to Europe was possible when you were a Roosevelt), and Ms. Kearns Goodwin[0] was able to pull together an incredible story of the lives of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft as told through their journals and letters, not just what was written about them in the newspapers.
What book will historians write about me from my git log (assuming historians figure out git's interface)?
[0]: The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism by Doris Kearns Goodwin
