Title: Joshua
Subtitle: a man of the Finger Lakes region
Description: The author ties John D. Rockefeller's father ( William Avery Rockefeller ) to the LOOMIS GANG of horse thieves from central NY State during middle of the 1800's. In the book "Frontier Justice",which expertly details the exploits of the ruthless Loomis Gang ; one of the gang's best horse thieves is identified as big Bill Rockwell. Brutcher's  book also includes a photo of  "his" William Rockefeller (alias Bill Rockwell ) which is  clearly the same person  as that shown on the Rockefeller Family website. The already-rare "Joshua" book mysteriously disappeared from NY libraries during the 1970's according to newspaper clippings which I have kept with my copy of the book.  The book was valued at up to $1,000  according to those clippings . Nelson Rockefeller's served as Vice President during the 1970's.
