As a tiny lad I often went there … on the fourth Saturday or Sunday in the month. I rode the seven long miles perched behind my father or mother on ‘Old Suz,’ the family mule. Later, as I grew older, I frequently walked the distance.” Latest reprint, this 5.5 x 8.5 inch, 48 page, soft covered booklet.
