The Abduction of Meshach Browning at five years old, by his aunt and uncle who seduced him away from his widowed mother so that they could have him as a tiny cattle drover, popped right out at me when I opened this package from Sam, the Elder of the three Sam's that comment on the site.

I will be using this book for America in Chains and as background for the Liver-Eater Johnson project, as their hunting careers overlapped in vastly different parts of the nation.

I really appreciate the loan, Sam, and will probably not return it until summer. In the meantime, my son has just ordered a copy of Stillbirth of a Nation and Big Water Blood Song, which should be to you in about ten days.
