Chapter 1 — Big Names in Bourbon

Ready as a source locator, not independent claim verification. E-reader capture screens, not print pagination. Family tree reviewed visually; relationships and role dates remain secondary-source claims. Screen 235–236 returns to Booker/Fred Noe succession. Later chapter 7's dates conflict with earlier family profiles; no current-position inference. September 29 fresh review: Fresh review: PDF55's two-child summary conflicts with the PDF58 tree (Mildred, Margaret and Jeremiah) and PDF235's two-sisters account. Historical affiliations are not current positions.
