The Webmaster has finally quit procrastinating and has been able to publish Mr. Allens very well written history of Co A in Adobe Acrobat pdf format. This is in his own un-edited format as marked up. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you must download it from the below link and install it. The prologue is still in gif format. Thanks for your patience. - J A. Peacock 5/17/2003
