To put your mind at ease, Sherry, it might help to know the narrator & producer of the audio tape - Ross Ballard II - has a Masters Degree in English, ("with honors") and presently teaches at Johns Hopkins University! He is also a member of the Audio Publishers Association. He's done several other WV heritage tapes. For those who want to know more about Ross Ballard II, you can read his impressive biography at www.newrivergorge.com/RRBio.htm. This link is under his picture at his website, but it is very hard to see because of the light color of the print. I would enjoy reading any other the trivia involving "Daughter of the Elm". Thanks for sharing what you know, Sherry. How fun! Keep it comin' ! For those who don't know - "Daugher of the Elm" was a scandalous book in its time, based on real life characters from the Shinnston area of Harrison County. At one time the book was banned (I heard) because it involved families who were in public service. Best regards, <Sharon><
