A few hundred books had to be left behind until the debris around them is removed. Virkler and others at first imagined that the Bullis collection was a complete loss. Among the surviving volumes of the collection are histories of several prominent local families and a copy of Ulysses S. Grant's two-volume memoirs, signed by the former president. There has been no shortage of support from town and area residents. Please try to save as many books and historical documents as possible.
Books are a national treasure.
