Caldwell, Chair of Bicentennial Commissions Does anyone know where I could find one for sale? I tried calling a couple of places in Fincastle, VA (courthouse, pharmacy) but no luck... Thanks. Verna Bullock Lewis >> Verna, I purchased a copy last fall at the Botetourt Co. Courthouse. If they don't have any more, you might try the Historical Society. There is no index to the book or I would do offer to fo lookups for you. Donna Surber
