Title: silly, poorly researched, obviously hoping for a movie deal
Product review: Apparently this author spent all of an hour researching his material. This book is so fraught with historical errors it's like a how-not-to-write historical fiction primer. While some bending of facts is excusable whan a piece is well written, this isn't the case here. The author clearly doesn't understand his period, the 1840s mindset, certainly misunderstands New Orleans, and gets just about nothing right. It read to me like he was trying to come up with a "hip period" revisionist take on the truth simply to set up a big Hollywood deal or something. Hopefully the movie business will know better.
