Summary
"The stories are ... accurate treatments of now nearly forgotten people and events. Hopefully, they will stimulate the reader to study other more extensive writings. Suggested references are included in the bibliography. I would like to think that this goal will be realized and some of the dust which has collected in a half century and more has been wiped away, if only briefly." [from the author]
