I just wonder if I can find it at the library! I am going to look there and see if I can find it. I will let you know!Tender Heart Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066055559647242770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23311721.post-85180294490136082012011-07-19T23:10:28.033-07:002011-07-19T23:10:28.033-07:00Very cool that you know so much about your family....Very cool that you know so much about your family.

It was pretty warm the day we chose to go the top of White Face mountain and not knowing much about it I wasn't prepared. I was freezing halfway up and bought a jacket at the gift shop that kept me warm was we made it to the top. The views were breathtaking. I'd like to go back one day! <br />Hope you are enjoying your trip back home.SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551536762829444866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23311721.post-87242131001963983622011-07-14T11:18:32.838-07:002011-07-14T11:18:32.838-07:00I have little balsam pillows in every room of my c...I have little balsam pillows in every room of my condo to remind me of the smell of home.

Unfortuna...The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Old-Guides-Story-Charles-Merrill/dp/1572583622/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310572480&sr=1-4" rel="nofollow">newer version was released in 2006</a>. Unfortunately it's hardcover only and costs $49.95. My parents have a copy but I've not picked up a copy for myself<br /><br />The older version (from 1973) I believe still can be found used via <a href="http://www.alibris.com" rel="nofollow">Alibris</a>.<br /><br />I shared some emails with the guy who was responsible for getting the book re-published. He was/is a local history buff. I believe he either had a copy of or had come across a copy of the 1973 version and learned of the history of the book and discovered parts were missing from when it had been initially published in serial form. Because the 1973 version had been out of print for so long and was so hard to find he took it upon himself to change that.<br /><br />The book is so expensive because it's published by a small local publisher in Northern NY state. They don't do the volume of business of the bigger publishers so they have to charge more for the book to still turn a profit. The re-issue of the book is higher quality than the 1973 printing. The pages are glossy and it's more like a "coffee table book" than the original was. <br /><br />One of my cousins so enjoys that part of our shared family history that he ended up buying a summer camp on the same lake that the Merrill House was located on before it was destroyed by a fire. His wife summers there and he flies in for a few weeks every year as his work schedule allows.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23311721.post-13518190939955295712011-07-13T08:23:46.641-07:002011-07-13T08:23:46.641-07:00I do have a question is the new book coming out?
...I do have a question is the new book coming out? <br /><br />To me reading this is like going back and reading the little house book again the farmer boy book. I bet that Almanzo was friends with someone in your family. <br /><br />It is great someone wants to write the story about your family again. When it comes out I would just love to read the book. Please let me know when it comes out. <br /><br />You are right about going back home. You can always go back there and it will always be with you in your heart. That is one thing no one can ever take away from you. I hope you have a great time when you go and visit your family!♥Tender Heart Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066055559647242770noreply@blogger.com
