There is no indication on it that it was ever published. Apparently, she gave it to Shelby Taylor, a cousin of my father's. He passed it down to his sister, who later gave it to my father years later. I think that Miss Hammack may have been a school teacher in Bell Co. during the 1920's. That is the timeframe my father and his cousin attended school there. Also, there are references to the years 1923 and 1928 in some of the poetry in the book. Does anyone have any information on Laurie Anne Hammack or any information on whether she indeed was a teacher in Bell Co. and where she taught. Any information would be much appreciated. Judy Pajares
