I sent the text of the book to him. And I see that someone else posted it. I didn't know if the book was copyrighted or not. Since you are a Birdwell relative, do you know who George H. Birdwell who married Cassandra A. Blackburn was? He was born 24 Feb 1869. Children John b. abt 1875 and Lula b. abt 1878. I'm a Blackburn descendant. None of us can figure out who Cassandra is or who George belongs to. Can you help us solve this mystery? I'm also related (not in the direct line) to the Grayson who shot your Birdwell. Our cousin, Albert Pruitt married Grace Edna Birdwell, now deceased.
