Sherman, be sure and let us know if the author tells anything about his family history. :o) Patti Jobe Margaret, I was able to get a copy. I started with abebooks.com and located a place in Boone, Tennessee (right now cannot find the address). I got their last copy. I have just started reading and it is an incredible story of what one person contributed toward the freedom we each are able to enjoy. Many people paid a lot and he did and lived to write about it!! Hope you can find a copy. Sherman
