Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong by James W. Loewen

4.0

Wow, Mr. Loewen really does his homework. He must have put years of research into this book! I really enjoyed learning about historical markers from around the country that are erroneous or misleading and need to be corrected or removed. The reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 is because it does get somewhat repetitive. I hope the author has addressed all of these issues with each state. The best thing I can do is to probably address the issues in my own state also. This book can certainly be a call to action for the integrity of our historical markers in America. These markers go a long way in educating folks and they should be accurate and comprehensive in their content. Thank you for your hard work Mr. Loewen!
