There is not a single secret torture attic in this book, can you believe it? NOT ONE.

Step up your game, wealthy Louisianans!

(It was kind of interesting reading this at the same time as the Benjamin January books; I mean, they both have done their research, and you can tell which of the same sources they've read.)

That sounds really interesting. Example?

The thing with Ulysses S. Grant features PROMINENTLY, along with the thing where Lincoln almost immediately rescinded the order, which is probably part of the reason why everything re: Lincoln is also so hagiographical here.

To be fair, it was a reasonable reaction on Lincoln's part!

DREAMBOAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SEES DEEP INTO ALL HEARTS INDEED.

Hurray.
