[stylist] history of the cane

[Kasondra Payne]

I believe that book was written by Tom Bickford.  M y husband and I love that book, and we try to share that with everyone including our children's travel instructors.  By the way, we have been thinking about writing a children's book from the point of view of a cane.  Sighted kids hear and read about Braille in school, but a lot of them are mystified by the cane and what it is used for.  What do you guys think?

That book was written by Eric Woods and a few other travel instructors from
 Louisiana and Minnesota.

 Don't know if it will help, but get hold of "The Care and Feeding of the
 Long
 White Cane," a book that should be available through NFB.   It was one of
 the
 Kernel books, I think.   If it does not have the history in it, then the
 writer most certainly will.
