Comments
A reasonably well documented work, with explicit sources. The index should not be relied on as it catches only about 1 in 2 references to specific individuals. For example, A search on the Ancestry version of this work showed a total of 56 references to "Boone", whereas the books index shows 26 entries. The hit rate may actually be better for less well known individuals.
