I don’t think I can afford that.
I never felt like Pickets history was very accurate.
Oddly enough, although I have numerous ancestors involved in the founding of the state, only one of them is mentioned in this book. And incidentally, Amazon has it for $30.99 in hardback, $28.95 in paper.
They may have one at your local library.
I have this book and bought one for my son. It is also sold on Amazon. It is a great read and very detailed. When I bought the book about 5 years ago it was around $50. The value has really tripled.
