I suspect there is some anti-Beck bias here. Get over it, folks.
Please accord me a little respect. 1st by reading my posts in full, then by holding the sarcasm, which doesn’t help, even if I WAS a RevWar illiterate. I’m asking a simple question hoping to get good answers (Beck did not supply any sources in his 1st minutes - no, I haven’t yet watched beyond 15 min of it). I don’t want to pump myself up, but it IS a hobby of mine and I have read much more on the period/war than your average Joe, never mind “seen” much more.
I am NOT anti-Glenn Beck. I record his show every day and watch it. I love him, but I’m afraid he’s getting a little loose with the facts. That does not help any cause.
Started with his all-too-brief “Indian” episode the other week. He brought up startling info about Hebrew-type etchings on stones found in Indian burials, etc. I thought very interesting - I know about zilch about Indians. I went here and the Glenn Beck thread had people denouncing those stones - they’ve been discredited, found frauds, it’s a Morman thing, etc. Not good.
Now he mentions something with which I’m unfamiliar in a period I know something about. It made me question it.
