Big Bad Ironclad!: A Civil War Tale by Nathan Hale
3.0
NO NO NO NO NO. 0 stars. I can't even get passed the fly leaf. What I hoped to be a decent GN that blurs the lines of fiction/nonfiction with enough nonfiction some libraries put it in nonfiction collections had a rather large error on the fly leaf in a map differentiating between Union, Confederate, and boarder states and territories. It marks Kansas as a Confederate state. Granted it has been a while since my college Civil War class I double, triple and quadrupled checked to make sure I wasn't crazy and never did I see KANSAS listed as a Confederate state. I hope, for the sake of map crazy kids out there, that this was an error limited to this specific printing otherwise there will be some confused kids out there.
Update. I just updated my review to 3 stars aka good because the mistake was caught and hopefully now fixed. Probably still won't be buying these for my library because if there are mistakes like this right off the bat are there mistakes that I did catch else where?
