20180813 – Monday – King of Melville Island.
When I got home I found, to my delight, awaiting me on my desk the promised book from Ian Cooper about Robert Joel Cooper’s life.
Robert Joel Cooper is one of my forebears in my family tree, and I wrote a chapter about him in my book “Runaway from Santipore” which I published on my web-site, fayberrystory. com.
Tim discovered my story when he was writing his book, and rang me about it and asked if he could use the information in it, in his book.
And here was his actual book!! It is called “Buffalo men.” By Bernard Whimpress with Ian Cooper.
I scanned quickly through the book and it had so much extra information and I am so happy to have it in my hands.
And, even better I am listed in the book’s bibliography as:
Berry, Fay. ‘The King of Melville Island, Robert Joel Cooper’s amazing story,’ My stories and Writings.
It is the first time I have ever been mentioned in the bibliography of anyone’s book!!
