Hello, I just emailed the address listed in the about section. I am trying to get in touch with Mike. If you did not receive an email, please reply to this post. Thank you. Drew
In the book, included in the section on Jinny Johnson (pp.183-85), is a description of where she lived. If you head east on Franklin St. you can still make out the "brow of the long, winding hill as you start down the road to Durham." At the brow, on the right, there are several sections of huge boulders which could match the "huge boulder" mentioned by Prince as one of the "timeless and beloved landmarks" he would pass as a child on the way to the Strowd farm house and that were still there when he returned to Chapel Hill as an adult. "But the little cabin (Jinny Johnson's home) is displaced by fine residences now." So, it seems that you can still trace Prince's steps and more or less locate where Jinny Johnson's cabin used to be. The "huge boulder" that sat in front of her house still sit in front of the "fine residences" that "displaced" it.
