Jerry, have you had the opportunity to go to Victory Seeds and read the complete list of Livingston varieties there, and pictures, where appropriate, and the excellent descriptions that Mike has given as to which ones are extinct, etc and which ones are still around such that he offers seeds.?

He also has a nice biography of Livingston at the site.

Mike has a special interest in Livingston varieties and so does Craig LeHoullier and I think it's well worth anyone who is so interested to read the info at Victory seeds.
