I had this book in PDF but an older scan of a book that was already over 140 years old is hard to read--yellowed paper, small print, unable to convert from double-page spread to larger single page. I learned about Higginson from the historical society. Option of hard copy or soft cover was an added plus. I wanted to be able to highlight pages of interest. The book arrived in three days. Will be taking it to a family reunion on Thanksgiving. Thank you, Higginson!
