I really liked this book. The history was amazing, and it was even better, because my great grandfather was mentioned in it since he was a caretaker, and my grandmother and grandfather were interviewed for this book. I know that my grandmother would have loved to have read this before she passed.
My only small issue with this book is that my grandfather’s name is spelled incorrectly It should be spelled Allen.
