What is the name of the book - for ordering? Charlene Mann Virginia "Joe B. Dorn" <[email protected]> wrote: I purchased the book at the Bell County Museum two days ago (13th July) while on a break from jury duty. I am about halfway through it and find it most interesting. My wife has a half-cousin quoted extensively in the book. It cost about twenty dollars depending on your membership status with the museum. I would consider the book a must read for anyone interested in Bell County history.

I found this extremely interesting since my family was part of the East Coryell County group. I was told that my family was offered a "pay off" of their debts. They got a total of $45.00. The last time my Uncle John Matthews was able to go into that area, the old home chimney was still standing. I wonder if it still is!! Do you happen to know if the book, Harder Than Hardscrabble, is available, and if so, where. Thanks!
