Tim,
ReplyDeleteI share many of your interests and enjoy your work. You've tipped me off to a book or two! I have a question about a document you posed on 6/1/2009 - "An Ordinance in Relation to the Police of this City" Lexington, 1832. Can you tell me where it's located? I would love to use it in an exhibit I'm working on and haven't been able to locate it. Jane Williamson, Director, Rokeby Museum, rokeby@comcast.net
