Ongoing research: genealogy The book as currently published still lacks a complete roster of character images— see Appendix viii in the book, pp. 425-431.

Readers are invited to contact the author if they could provide copies of images (daguerreotypes or ambrotypes) of the following people:

Levi Bacon, Jr. (1819-1887)

Elkanah Bee Comstock (1806-1884)

Rev. Augustus Green (1815-1878)

David Jackson (1839-1885)

Marquis Wellington Kelsey (1820-1862)

Malvina Frances Taylor (m. Colby) (1843-1875)

Personal diaries or letters written by any of the characters would be welcome indeed, as additional historical sources. Of particular interest would be the “Memoirs of Cleantha Parke McConnell” which is referred to by name, in articles on the Internet, but the search is still on for a copy of this document.
