Coward Mill History to be presented

I will be giving a talk on the history of Coward's Mill at the Karns Library Tuesday March 29 at 2PM please join us if you can. I just posted an outline on my First Families Web page.

Book progress update

Over the holidays I lost my mother. She was 91 and lived a happy life. I have had to put my research on hold for a few months. Traveling to New Mexico to take care of her estate. I will be back 'full time' on my book after my return. My mother was a big supporter of my research. Wishing all of you a successful 2011. Please continue to contact me. Barbara Guinn
