1.0 out of 5 stars Lacks Clarity, March 7, 2000

By A Customer

This book is replete with gramatical errors, and the writing becomes incoherent in a few places. Example from page 65 "The `Kentucky Gazette`, Kentucky's first newspaper, was organized to act as a forum for statehood and seperation from Virginia. But debates started endorsing secession from the Confederation of States." The incoherencies in this book are topped off by contradictions of facts stated in it. Facts are stated often times more than once but don't corroborate each other. I think there is a minimum level of writing proficiency that is anticipated, and expected, by readers but the writing in this book falls far short of achieving it. The book should never have been published, for there are too many claring errors in it.

The book may not be perfect, but Isaac Shelby was a great man, and this is the first biography I have found of him. The book belongs in the library of every descendent of Isaac Shelby.
