Title: Author is very deceptive
Review: Bellesiles stretched the truth more than once in trying to prove his point in this book. In checking his sources, often the ones he lists, even the particular pages that he lists, contain evidence that contradicts his claims. He quotes parts of sentences from those sources and ignores the contradictory information on that same page. While he was correct that "sport hunting" didn't catch on until after 1840, most frontiersmen and families did utilize hunting as a means of supplying food for their table. His quotes of George Washington's complaint about SOME of the militia being poorly armed and trained when his letter complained of "the odd behavior of the few militia" from certain counties ignores the fact that Washington indeed found this odd! While an interesting perspective, this book is exaggerated and incorrect in many respects. I'd encourage anyone reading it to check the sources carefully before taking any statements made as truth.
