Info on the book from Library of Congress' online catalog: LC Control Number: 07019837 Type of Material: Book (Print, Microform, Electronic, etc.) Brief Description: Ayres, D. M. The desire of the people. Bryan, Tex., The Bryan eagle print, 1894. [124] p. 18 cm. CALL NUMBER: RS127 .A96 Copy 1 -- Request in: Jefferson or Adams Bldg General or Area Studies Reading Rms -- Status: Not Charged The library's catalog is at: http://catalog.loc.gov/ Didn't get it to come up by name at first, but then clicked on "set search limits" and put in the creation date of 1894. Then went back to the search and did a name browse for Ayres. On the second page D.M. Ayres appears, if you click on the link you will go to the above reference. I would suggest going to your local library and see if they can get the book somewhere through interlibrary loan.
