Bibliography

[Prairie Buck]

This is the first reference to this publication that I have seen. Does anyone out there have any comment on it? I have Brophy. How does this publication compare to it?

Prairie Buck;

Do NOT waste your money on this publication! First off, Cornell was supposed to have pulled the book from publication due to copyright infringements on items in the book. There is another post on this site regarding Citizen Jack Cook's book, and you should be able to do a SEARCH and find the comments about the book there. In all, he more or less copied stuff from Brophy and a few others to make up what is in this book. A total waste of money if you have the Brophy book.
