Hi Dawn, a Worldcat search for the 57th history shows 5 copies;

You may want to contact a local library to see if the copy at the Onondaga County Library would be available on Inter-Library Loan.
The book is found at:

Hi Larry,
You'll be happy to hear that my brother and I found the book (using the information you sent) at the Library of Congress which sent a copy to his local library in Arlington, VA. He has read it and has told me lots about it. I believe I can obtain a copy at a library here in Rhode Island. Meanwhile, I am still waiting to hear from GoldsWorth Books in UK where I am trying to purchase it.
It has been truly awesome discovering all this new information. My brother and family are also indebted to you and have asked me to convey their thanks. I just tell them Larry is the best!
I will keep you posted. Have a wonderful 4th of July!
Sincerely,
Dawn
