Yes, I enjoyed his book. Emailed him and we exchanged a few emails. He asked me to go to Amazon and post a review.
Unfortunately, later he became the Dem Senator!
There was another book (can’t come up with the name..help me) that explained the different regions of England that emigrants came from and the words (still used today) that came from those areas. Many of the words you would have connected with black usages in the South...it was really amazing to discover they were not African in origin but very early migrations from England.
What was the name of that book?
I have it, but haven't finished reading it.
