The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 44, October 22, 2000, Article 8 REVIEWING THE REVIEW Regarding Doug Ball's criticisms of the Morgan book, Texan Fred Reed writes: "With all due respect to Douglas, his own work is flawed, too. He seemed much more interested in having a twit and promoting himself than in dealing with Jim's serious research. Jim Morgan went to Oklahoma State University, not the University of Oklahoma, as could easily be ascertained by actually READING Jim's book. This may make little difference to the erudite New Yorker, but as an Okie "them's fighting words" in these parts. I knew Jim quite well. We went to graduate school together, and when I was News Editor at Coin World we published his work there, too. By the way, for the bibliophiles in the audience, I own Jim's actual thesis, autographed to me. I believe the "graybacks" in the title was the "effort" of the publisher, not Jim." [Editor's note: Dr. Ball's review was not reprinted in its entirety. He also noted: "there are some very interesting chapters on the Oklahoma Indians and their monetary relations with the Confederacy and themselves and there are some useful chapters on state note issues."] Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
