Title: Misleading and historically worthless
Review: Both of Kelley's books ought to be categorized as historical fiction, at best. His research was cursory and incomplete and his accounts of the events could have been written by an apologist for the families of the vigilantes. Orlo Miller (The Donnellys Must Die - 1962)and Ray Fazakas (The Donnelly Album - 1977) have both done a creditable job of portraying the events and the participants. Any student of history is encouraged to read the latter two books rather than either of Kelley's. Using the accurate maps, descriptions and many photos in The Donnelly Album I was able to locate virtually all of the major sites of the conflict. The village of Lucan is little changed since 1880 and the cedar swamp school house still stands, as well as many of the original homesteads. This story puts paid to the notion that Canadian history is boring.
