Jeanne, Yes, I know of the book you mentioned. However, the Enterprise that it refers to is an area on the eastern border of Edwards County next to Wabash County and not the Enterprise in Wayne County. It's two different areas about 20 miles apart.

Terry - Thanks so much for telling me! Now I won't run around trying to find the book. Guess someone needs to tell the library people what this Enterprise is in terms of their indexing!
