Negative Positive
Title: Great history? Oh, please!
Review: IN my opinion, this book is no where near the great piece of scholarship as claimed by some on this site (why does this high school teacher named Kiley write two reviews? What is it with him and his hero worship of Elting?). It has some merits, but the scholarship is very slanted (typical Elting)and the biased conclusions by Elting rob the reader of the overall impact of what was going on (another Elting trait), especially along the Canadian border and Sir Isaac Brock's influence there.
Is the review positive or negative?
