I've been to Carlisle and to the Indian cemetery where the school used to be. Am interested in getting a copy. I understand it's out of print, but must be at least one copy out there somewhere that's up for sale. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

There are 44 libraries across the US that hold the book and another 22 that have the microform copy. I do not know where you live, so I cannot tell you the closest library - but I can tell you how to find it (or any other book) quickly: Go to www.fiskelibrary.org and enter the title in the search box. Click on WorldCat holdings to find all of the libraries in the US (and Canada) that hold the book. 100 items came up for "Indian industrial school Carlisle" including archived material on Richard Pratt. I am a volunteer at Fiske Genealogical Library in Seattle and find using WorldCat opens access to a treasure of material!
