I am looking for a digital copy of "One League to Each Wind, Accounts of Early Surveying in Texas." Does anybody have a copy they are willing to send to me? Any and all help will be appreciated.

I don't know if a digital copy is available. The book itself is available through the TSPS store for $30. Or you can get a hardback version from Amazon for $150. However if someone does have a digital copy I would be interested as well.

Half a dozen libraries in your area have the book; you could get one of those copies and scan it.

Cheers,

I take issue with that. It's copyrighted for a reason. If I get mad at unauthorized copies of my surveys floating around I am certainly not going to encourage scanning a readily available book.

Perhaps this is a good time to suggest that the TSPS work with the rights holder to check into issuing an e-book version.

Even if there wasn't a problem with copyright issues the time (time = money) it would take me to make a full copy of the book would be better spent doing something more productive.
