Been reading this book for more than three years and just reached page 42. World's strangest history book. Author uses no footnotes and his genteel, discursive style gives the impression he dictated the whole thing, requiring no research. Book is some deep inside baseball on C-town, assuming a working knowledge of local 18th century planter families sufficient to merit introducing main players only by their surnames.
