Published in Knoxville, 1902. http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/webster/webster.html It's hard to imagine, as you read through this transcript, that the man who dictated it was 120-years-old and lived nearly 3/4 of that time as a slave. What adventures he had, and what he lived through -- how fortunate we are that he had an amazing memory and that someone had the foresight to capture it for posterity! -This is a USGenNet Safe-Site Mailing List - http://USGenNet.Org/
