I did not intend to write a teaser about the preacher and Blue Springs. But the source is copyrighted and I cannot quote it here. It appears in Cyrus Edwards' Stories of Early Days. A later edition was put out by Florence Edwards Gardiner, but I have not read that one, so I don't know if it appears in her edition, Stories of Early Days and Others. I was very surprised that Edwards' original book is not to be found on the web. As I recall, it was not copyrighted. The same book with the additions and/or deletions by Ms. Gardiner is considered by copyright laws to be a new work, and could be copyrighted because her changes were deemed substantial enough to be considered another book.
