According to abebooks.com, there are two available. One is the first addition and the other is the addendum. Unfortunately, they are quite costly by many people's standards. Here is a link to the two books. I hope that this helps!! Take care!

I think you would get a much better response if you were to re-direct your question to this forum posted below,

hope this helps.

*** ADDENDUM ***

The "people search" suggestion I gave at the end shows a different address and a phone number. Might be worth a call if you really want the book (and definitely to see if this is the right person but at a new address)

**************

Cameron, Joseph R. Early Settlers of Old Mount Airy, Wythe County, Virginia. Old Mount Airy shared its western border with Smyth County's eastern edge. Therefore, many of the old families in this book have close connections to Smyth County. In this book you will find much more than family trees. Surveys of old land grants were drawn and put together to make a settlement map of the Mount Airy area. Directions to the old homeplaces are frequently given, including highway numbers, etc. Read old stories from the memories of those no longer here. Among the families included are: Cameron, Buck, Weaver, Staley, Kinder, Daut, Snavely, Groseclose, Gillespie, Burkett, Heldreth, Gullion, Spangler, Huddle, Musser, and many more. Order from Joseph R. Cameron, Rt. 4, Box 129, Wytheville, VA 24382 $29.95

E-mail address given in listing is cameronnet@naxs.com

Note that you can "People Search" Joseph Cameron in Wytheville and get what is probably a current address and phone number.

This book, at least according to http://www.books.google.com and the rootsweb listing referenced above, appears to be an author's edition. Besides the email, his web site is mentioned, but comes out as a 404.

I would suggest you do a search of genealogical societies in the area around Wytheville, VA. Most societies keep a library, especially for their local histories, and willingly share information.

Good luck. Hope Joe is all right...
