just leave the woke out.

it was a "B" effort but I was hanging in there until the recounting of Dee's pre collapse rape. no reason to include that but the author used it to wine about how unfair and hostile towards wemon our knuckle dragging male dominated society is.
author must be a feminist.
But what the heck, it is a work of fiction. I'm glad I didn't buy this one.

poor accounting

Revisado: 01-29-23

Lope sided, unfair negative treatment of Washington.  Also glossed over how the Iroquois took the land from other tribes. No details on the role of William Johnson and all his work with the Indians as England's Indian agent.
No real explanation of why different Indian tribes were pro England or France.
You also make a lot of unfounded assumptions about what the French might have done. Totally unfounded and crazy assertion that the French could have stopped western expantion of the colonist.
It wasn't the removal of a French threat thus the need for a mighty English army to protect the colonist that started  colonist really contemplating revolution. It was England's treatment of those colonist and the English officers treatment of colonist.

If this little shallow accounting of the French and Indian War is all you know, then you know nothing.

historically incorrect

Revisado: 09-06-22

several tines this story becomes very inaccurate and seems to rewrite history with an eye for political correctness.
makes me wonder what I thought I learned from some of his other books that's just not true.

glad I never had to read it in school

Revisado: 06-03-22

I don't know why calling someone An uncle Tom is an insult. the character was a very honorable, kind, and a pious person.
listening to it was ok, if I had to read it it would have been painful.

good to know.

Revisado: 09-13-21

recognizing fact that white slavery predated black slavery in the British colonies that became the USA is important.
in the last chapter author slanders George Washington so I question the conclusions the author makes.

Indians romanticized too much

Revisado: 08-24-21

entertaining story but the Indians were not presented realistically. no telling of their brutality. they were portrayed politically correct. so as a story it was entertaining, but historically misleading.

historic fiction

Revisado: 08-24-20

Author makes overarching misrepresentations that makes me skeptical of the truth and honesty of this account. He refers to Jefferson's democratic republican party simply as the republican party and republicans which might lead you to think they were the antecedent of today's republican party. But Jefferson's DR party with its pro slave stance is the antecedent of today's democrat party. He also misrepresents the 3/5 compromise and overall issue of slavery and the constitution
