“ I had the great director John Ford in mind when I wrote this book. He famously said that ..."when you have to choose between history and legend, print the legend.”

Its been a long journey since the last post on this blog. Stella and I have spent a lot of hours trailing kin. We are digging for the history. Sometimes it is tangled with the legend. Most often there is neither history or legend. For a time we are going back and post some of the steps we took along the way recording notes about how our history has unfolded.
