Gail - I checked WorldCat to see if a copy of this book might be available for me to order through the interlibrary loan system, in which my local library participates. Unusually, however, there is only 1 library "worldwide" that seems to own this book. That is the Georgia Department Of Archives & History Library. I could try ordering this book for the purpose of performing lookups for you, but in my experience any book that is so narrowly held would not be available for interlibrary loan. By the way, this is the least number of held copies of a WorldCat entry I have ever seen. It looks as though this book was originally published by the author in 1969, then republished by the Reprint Company of Spartanburg South Carolina in 1984 and 1996. I would try contacting them to see if they might have available stock. Another very good alternative would be to call the Department of Archives and History and ask if they perform lookups for patrons. Better yet, get thee to the GDAH library in person. The book is 156 pages with 16 plates and includes and index. The nature of the index is not specified. Best wishes!
