You do know that the problem with books and their revision of history is not always accurate? I’m not really sure what happened here...and probably never will. Factual accounts seem to go by the wayside... You have to believe what you want to by reading several accounts of the action.
It is really a shame that our education system (including the publication of books) has become so inaccurate or just plain false... Sign of the times I suppose...
Do you feel that the books I mentioned, A Terrible Glory by James Donovan, and The Last Stand by Nathanial Philbrick, are not accurate in their historical representation? If so, how so?
