After
Most Distinguished Character on the American Frontier, Robert Looney... and Some of His
Descendants, Vol. I, by Madge Looney Crane and Phillip L. Crane became available
July 1, 1998, many comments have been received from subscribers. David D. Salmon
wrote "Your discovery and publication of the old and new documents is so
comprehensive that many things previously baffling or isolated now finally connect."
David suggested that we write down some of the important new historical items that
are presented in this book. It has been pointed out that other researchers would
benefit form our view on various topics discussed in our book. We will attempt to do
this on this web page under the title of "What's New in Looney Book?" by
articles below. The plats and maps with the credit line Phillip L. Crane may
not be reprinted without citing the name of the book and authors.
