Dear Edgar: Saw your response to the listing about "Buggar Saga." I think I mentioned Dr. Pruitt to you several months ago but I didn't realize there was such a difference in the women's version of his work and his manuscript. I found a copy of the book in Florence about 10 years ago and was lucky enough to have received a copy from a very generous cousin (who bought them all up I think so no more are available). I have talked to the UNA archives several weeks ago about going there and viewing all of Dr. Pruitt's papers. I found that the archives is only open for that two days a week (Mon. and Thurs.) and only from 8-12 on Monday and I think less than that on Thurs. I was very interested in seeing this and am especially now, since you said what you did, because my line is mentioned in the book (Alexander Pruitt who married Frances Palmer). This part of the book has always seemed very vague to me and now I understand why. I am hopeful that there is more in the boxes at the archives that will shed more light on especially the Palmer connection. According to the book, the Palmers and Pruitts intermarried for generations. I know figuring out the relationships in this book is very confusing at times. You seem to know more about this than what is even in the Foreward. Do you know if there are any other records used that were not found at the archives or at Nashville?. Do you know how much is found in the TN State Library? Thank you, Sabra
