I do not think this book is worth $45.00 which is what it cost me with shipping. If I had reviewed the book first I would not have ordered it. I was told there was a picture of my father, Supt. of Fredericksburg police, Arthur "King" Kendall in the book. There was but his name was not even printed in the text. (He was pinning on the badge of the first black Fbg. police officer)
