The museum is honored to receive the donation of an autographed edition of Edward Tatum Wallace's autobiographical novel "Barrington."
"Barrington" is said to be a tale of early day Greenwood. Set in "Seba County" on the banks of the Vache Grasse, it is hard to believe otherwise.
The author was born and reared in Greenwood. He authored three books and was a popular writer for New York City area newspapers during the 1940s and 1950s. He retired from the Daily News in 1975 and passed away in 1976.*
The book is available for research purposes in the document room at the Old Jail Museum.
