Albert Capwell Wyckoff Scott Brenneman writes: I found a couple of Mercer Boy's books in my Dad’s book collection.

These books are well written and I really feel I am there inside the stories. Wish authors today would put out suitable books like these for youth. Sincerely, Scott Brenneman, Mount Vernon OHThanks, Scott, for writing. Adair County is proud of having been the home of Rev. Wyckoff for many years.
