Title: History Out of her League.
Review: I just finished Norma Ricketts book on the Mormon Battalion and unfortunately, I find it difficult to recommend. She made so many mistakes that I really think that she should have had some other historians review it before it went to press. She stated that Santa Ana surrendered to Gen. Zachory Taylor in Mexico City, when Taylor was not there but Gen. Winfield Scott. She also made a error witht he battle of Buena Vista. It was fought on 22-23 February 1847 and not in May 1847 as she wrote. She has no understanding of the Mexican War and the army. I also thought that the writing and editing was very poor. She really does not understand the military and history very well. I know she spent a great deal of time writing her book, but I think writing history is out of her league. The story of the Mormon Battalion is an outstanding story, too bad this book does not tell it very well. This story deserves a better history.
