From the little I can tell not well researched .. Many mistakes,
By
This review is from: Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins: Black Daughter of the Revolution (Gender and American Culture) (Hardcover)
I came across this book just now on Google Books and it would have been just the kind of historical family/genealogical history that I would have bought and enjoyed. However, the preview I got of pages 234, 235, and 236 were so shockingly incorrect and badly researched. The mistakes abounded and include statements, marriages, dates that are just wrong and I have never seen recorded in that manner. Unfortunately, the footnote pages for that chapter were not available on the preview so I could not check what sources where supposed to be used. I do know that there are ample documents and reputable articles on the internet and in libraries which are available, not too mention two books published by the Ms Hopkins' same publisher UNC press still in print, both that took years of painstaking research and proofing to verify.
I can only conclude from my evidence that this book is not one of substance. |
