Ranchero Cordova, CA 95670 I have no idea if copies are still being sold, or if any remain to be sold, but it is worth investigating. I believe Arlene Curry Buschert just got a copy.

The Joplin Globe Weds, April 19, 2000 Worthy efforts In Our View Who in the world are James Clemens Jr. and Daniel Morgan Boone and why should Missourians care? Clemens is second cousin to arguably Missouri's best known native, Samuel Clemens or Mark Twain. Twain's novels and musings have brought hours of reading joy to many generations of Americans and have put him in the hierarchy of great American writers. D. M. Boone is the son of the famed Kentucky frontiersman whose exploits in the wilds gave birth to lore and legend. So what? Both are relative unknowns, no pun intended, and not likely to be mistaken for their famous kin. But they do have something in common: Groups of Missourians are trying to preserve something of their heritage and, in so doing, do something constructive in their communities. The Boone grave site in Kansas City is untended and an eyesore. But preservationists and nearby residents want to transform Daniel Morgan Boone' s resting place into an educational park. They hope that with the proper care, better access and signs the site could attract visitors. Boone reportedly was one of the first white settlers in the southern Kansas City area. He was a pioneer, an early-day Indian agent in Missouri and Kansas and a militia captain in 1812. As for James Clemens Jr., his 141-year-old home near downtown St. Louis has fallen in disrepair and now is used as a homeless shelter. The dilapidated building could be torn down in a renovation project that has some religious leaders in the area upset. "If they touch the red house, they'll have to go through every black church in the city of St. Louis," said the Rev. Charles J. Brown Sr., moderator of the Berean Missionary Baptist District, a group of 70 black Baptist churches. Unsubstantiated stories tell of Mark Twain staying at the house when he worked as a river pilot. The causes being undertaken on the behalf of Daniel Morgan Boone and James Clemens Jr. are commendable. The Kansas City park would be beneficial to the neighborhood as well as educational for visitors. And few would dispute that the homeless shelter in St. Louis is needed. The neighborhood near the Boone grave in Kansas City already has started trumpeting the park idea. Land has been purchased. In St. Louis, people concerned with the fate of the Clemens home and the shelter should rally their volunteer forces, seek charitable contributions to fix up the place and make the reclamation a unifying project. Why should Missourians care? Because these are people who have seen a way to improve their areas and doing it themselves.
