This is a downloadable MP3 Audiobook of Take Back In Fancy narrated by Colonel Tom Kelly himself. “Go back in history as far as you like, back to Daniel Morgan using a turkey call to assemble his riflemen at Saratoga, back to one of those rangy Tennessee infantrymen on his way to New Orleans in 1814 picking up a turkey for the pot, back to Charles Jordan in 1870 along the Tombigbee River or to Henry Davis in South Carolina in 1925. It has always been the same, one man, one turkey, and one piece of ground. It is unchanged as I write this.” Copyright Tom Kelly Inc. 2005
