About
This is the final revision of James Mapes Pools’ first published book, published under ISBN 978-17372058-0-7 and in paperback ISBN 978-1-7372058-1-4, electronic book format. The foregoing represents further research on James Mapes Pool, his life, and many others’ work until the year 2023. The title of the book is the same, but the cover has changed. VERA, James’ mother, is now the name on the cover, of his new revised book. It is an artfully rendered photo of his mother’s face. Please note that within this book there will be social, religious, economic, and political differences reflecting the times. These are the times when James’ ancestors lived, including but not limited to: American pioneers, American Indians, immigrants, and the United States military. The book originated from napkins, the reverse sides of political junk mail, grocery receipts, notebook paper, long-hand scribbles, and digital text.
