History but also great Genealogy Book

Roscoe Turner was my grandfathers cousin so naturally I have been very interested in this book. It has a lot of family pictures in it and I use it for genealogy as well as history. I have read the entire book and found it very interesting and well written with a ton of pictures. I would recomend this book and have purchased quite a few of them for gifts. If you don't like to read, the pictures are worth the purchase. I like to read but even I had to put it down and come back to it. Not a book you can read at one sitting unless you are a speed reader and that would come in handy for this book but I wanted to soak in the words so I took my time reading.
