Dear Jerry,

Thanks for the words of defense. Reading your post I picked up on the
unfounded accusation that no one in India would take TMR seriously. 
In fact, it was reprinted by a leading scholarly publisher in India in
1997, the Indian Books Centre in New Delhi.

I've lived almost all of my 50 years in Virginia, and possess no
qualifications whatsoever to write about Virginia history. The notion
that residence in a place provides historical expertise about it that
trumps "outsiders'" research is quite, well, outlandish!

Been working on developing expertise in North Carolina history for
several years, though.
