My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is readable and entertaining history.
I wept with emotion when I read the chapter, Sunday, March 6, 1836: The Last Day.
I appreciate the sections titled, Myths, Mysteries, and Misconceptions at the end of the four sections of the book for the author explained how undocumented information was introduced to the public and repeated until we believe it to be true. He also explains how some authors devalued these heroes with cynicsm. "In that cynical new age, publishers encouraged controversy, and writers wanted to be published."
This book contains a 7-page bibliography.
