"Blacks in Blue and Gray" is out of print. Can't even find a copy in the library or through inter-library loan (I'm in California, so that is not so suprising).

I can only go by what you have attributed to Blackerby, versus what I have read from Jordan.

try interlibrary loan AGAIN.there are NUMEROUS copies available. for example, UVA has 2 copies that they'll loan out.

or call PORTALS PRESS in Tuskeegee;the last time i called them, there were still a few copies of the book in the warehouse. ALSO, about 6 months ago, they told me they were considering bringing out a new & much expanded edition, which Dr Blackerby did not complete prior to his passing away.(i'm going to order SEVERAL for Christmas presents, if that happens=== his widow is very aged, in poor health & could use the $$$$$$$$. her portion of his pension from TU is small & doesn't go far.)

GOOD LUCK on your search;i believe you will be IMPRESSED with his work.
