This is a large book -- 592 pages, 8-1/2 x 11. It is, unfortunately, not easy to use, as it is a more or less random collection of paragraphs about and from various individuals of the name Parker. There is a table of contents, of a sort; there is nothing, at least in the printing I have, resembling an index. The author himself , in the book's subtitle, gives a clue to the randomness: What the Historians say of Them What a Large Number Say of Themselves Genealogical and Biographical Interesting Historical Incidents The book is available, as a photocopied reprint, printed only on demand, from Higginson Books www.higginsonbooks.com, in the genealogies section.
