Title: careless research
Product review: I bought this book expecting a scholarly treatment of the subject. Instead I found myself reading something that was partly historical fact, partly creative writing, and contained many inaccuracies. In addition to the zipper incident described by another reviewer, the author gave the name of the Adams's oldest daughter as "Nabby"; it was actually Abigail Amelia. Mercy Otis Warren's brother James is described as leaving for Harvard in 1769, but two paragraphs later there is a statement that her husband, James, "graduated from Harvard in 1745,one year after her brother." (p. 97) These three glaring errors made me suspicious of other information as I read through the book. If I pass this book along, it will be with my own handwritten notations of the correct information where I find inaccuracies.
