I got mine from an inter Library loan, at my Local Library. It's a very small book. It deals with the authors research of the descendents of James Burke " Burke's Garden" He takes the Burkes back to Scamander. King of Troy. in the Land of Ancient city of Troy in prehistoric times in what is now northwestern Turkey. It is a great history of the Burke's, but at this time I have totally discounted it as connecting to my line of Burks, (James 1759 NC. to ca. 1804 SC.) unless he is a son of a brother or son of this James Burke.
