John E. Allen, D.D.S. and his ancestral Crazy Quilt from 1887
A new book published by Trafford Publishing is titled, The Content of Their Character: The Story Behind This Antique Quilt and the History of the African American Family That Made It. Written by John E. Allen, D.D.S., a retired dentist and jazz musician, the book explores 150 years of family history, and adds to the quilt code controversy, as he proclaims. The quilt was made by ex-slaves and contains its own “code,” he states. More information is available at the publisher’s site.
The price is US$44.48. Call 1-888-232-4444, where a friendly voice will take your order, or order through amazon.com with the link below.
