GDG- Killing Lincoln

[CWMHTours at aol.com]

So Jeff-
 
Don't you thnik that statement is MORE than a bit  ridiculous?  You are 
saying the arbiters of history in intelligent society  are book publishers and 
if they want to proclaim a book such as "Alice in  Wonderland" or "Wizard of 
Oz" are works of accurate historical fact we are  supposed to believe them?
 
It is very curious that you would abrogate your right of  deiciding what is 
reality over to book publishers.  If so have I got a book  about buying the 
Brooklyn Bridge for you-  real cheap.
 
Your  Most Obedient Servant,
Peter

you are just to blind to see.  If it is  marketed as history it is history, 
good, bad or  indifferent.

>>> We can discuss terms, but Holt, the  publisher, does not list this as a 
history book on its site. Maybe I am  looking for it wrong.  The terms used 
aere samples of descriptions used  for the book, including the publishers 
site.
>> 
>>  Yes.  You are wrong.  It is not a novel and the publisher - and  
everyone else -  describes it as a history.
>> 
>> Here  is how the publisher describes it.
>> 
>> A riveting  historical narrative of the heart-stopping events 
surrounding the  assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work of history from  
mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly
>> 
>> What part of  history don't you understand?
