I ran across a copy of this book in the office the other day. It mentions some information on the common line between Mississippi and Alabama.
I found a 20 page or so documents several years ago, and downloaded it. The documents (book) I found here at the office is about 160 pages long, and is written by Milton Denny. It was published by the Alabama Society. They do not have any more copies. It was published in 1992.
Does anyone know of a PDF of the Denny version, or a source for the printed version?
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy
You can probably locate Mr. Denny from the license list and/or the Surveyors Historical Society. I know he was involved with their annual event a couple years ago.
[USER=91]@Jimmy Cleveland[/USER], I believe I have his email at the office. I'll send it to you tomorrow. I'd also like to get one of the books.

Thanks Tommy. The email address at 3001 is no longer active.
Jim has two copies in his stuff at the office, but I assume he will be packing them up when he cleans out his office. I am not licensed in Alabama, but it does have some information on the Mississippi/Alabama line.

Well, 3001 not longer exists, so.....
I don't see how anyone could pass the Alabama test without reviewing the Faircloth notes.
Here is a picture of the book. I wish I could locate a few copies.
I wonder how many committed buyers it would take to convince ASPLS to send another run to the printers.

I don't know. 1992 was a long time ago. You would think that there is a whole new generation or two of surveyors since then that this would be a great addition to their libraries.
If this information is as valuable as everyone says, it is important to make sure that it is passed along to the newer surveyors.
Who is / was C.E.D. Technical Services and do they still exist? They owned the rights in 1992. This may well have passed into the public domain by now.
A quick Bing search turned up an e-mail address on the POB web site. I've taken the liberty of e-mailing that address to inquire about the availability of this document.
Lee,
I have been in contact with Milton Denny. The document was prepared for the Alabama Society. I contacted them, and they do not have any copies, and there are no plans for a reprint.
I do not think that C.E.D. Technical Services still exists. I tried looking them up, and the leads I found did not look anything like publishing.
I have a copy here at the office, but I am pretty sure when the surveyor that just retired cleans out his office, his books will go with him. I know mine would.
I am more interested in the historical aspect, and the fact that I am licensed in Mississippi, and there is some information on the line between Mississippi and Alabama. I have no plans on pursuing a license in Alabama.
Please let us know what you find out. Mr. Denny does not have any of the material from the book, but does have some information from some handout by Professor Faircloth.
Thanks,
Jimmy
