Hi Ann,

I know this is more than just a little early in the process, but might I claim Section 0, By Way of Introduction?

Thanks in advance,

Wayne

Of course you can, Wayne! Thank you!

BTW, could you use "Introduction," instead of "Section 0" in the intro?

Could I please claim chapter 1? Many of my ancestors came from an area mentioned, so this is of particular interest to me (in fact, one name I am related to).

Thanks.

Nice! I love it when that happens! I had a project where I had someone read a section and he mentioned that he was related to someone in the book. I think it was one of the Abraham Lincoln volumes.

Section 1 is yours! Thank you, Roger!

Ann,

Well, here at long last, is the Introduction:

https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/henrymoresmith_00_bates_128kb.mp3

Time: 5:28

This sounds very interesting. I just might have to, at a later date, learn more about the illustrative (?) Mr. Smith.

Thanks,

Wayne
