(17 October 1887). Personal, Albany Times ("Lew Vanderpoole, whose recent literary forgeries have made considerable newspaper talk, was formerly from Kinderhook, where he was known as Charles L. Vanderpool, and was for a time bookkeeper for the Victor Mower company and a correspondent for Rough Notes.")
(29 September 1887). Round About Town, Columbia Republican ("If "Lew Vanderpoole" is the same person known to the senior publisher of the Republican (to his sorrow) a few years since, as "C.L. Vanderpoel" he has developed wonderfully--in various ways--since that time. We hope he will come and see us when his fortune is made, as it seems likely that it will be now that he is getting so much gratuitous advertising.")
Schweiggert, Alfons (24 October 2017). Und ist es nicht wahr, so wenigstens gut erfunden, Süddeutsche Zeitung (in German) (This letter to the editor, headlined, And if it's not true, its at least well-invented, followed the paper's October 21, 2017 article discussing Luc Roger's exposure of the Ludwig interview as a likely hoax. The letter writer, German biographer de:Alfons Schweiggert, wrote the book Edgar Allan Poe und König Ludwig II (2008), which relied on Vanderpoole's piece. He suggests that German writers (like himself) have used Vanderpoole's story because Ludwig's points were also confirmed by other witnesses, including his interest in Poe, but that Vanderpoole's report is such an unbelievable achievement of insight into Ludwig that Roger is likely right that it was a fraud.)
