Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Westward They Came: Clark and Related Families by Doris Herman Kiser? There is a reference to Granville Perry Swift, my G4 grandfather, in it. It is out of print, but I'd like to see what it says.

According to WorldCat there is one at the University of Southern Mississippi. Perhaps you can obtain it through a interlibrary loan. http://www.worldcat.org/title/westward-they-came-clark-and-related-families/oclc/28565155 Paul On Sat, Nov 2, 2013 at 6:52 PM, Sophie Ryan <sophieryan1018@gmail.com>wrote: > Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Westward They Came: Clark and > Related Families by Doris Herman Kiser?
