All this discussion about your essay was getting me very impatient, but a copy of the Reunion booklet arived yesterday; just in time to spend a snowy evening warm inside with a pile of books.
The essay is most useful and fills in some big blank spaces. My only regreat is the margins are too small to easily add in all the cross-references I will want to do. :-)
Well done, and it leaves me looking forward to your Tennessee Book.
