Alright, history nerds, pay attention.

One of my fellow bloggers also writes for a living.  Yeah, I didn't know I could be getting paid!  Never mind.  The thing is, he read a book about history, by some ivy league lightweight midwit, and countered with his own book.  In any case, he is offering his book for free.  I'll post some of his post and a link to the... well... link.  It might boost his rank, as a writer, but it also might give you something to chew on when whatever else you are reading seems to... well... if you want to read something a little more solid.  I can't swear to the book, I can only say I read the author's post often enough that I give him some space to make points and have some faith in the man.  Can't hurt to help a fellow of the more conservative and traditional lines boost his ratings, if nothing else.  A friend of a friend and all that. 

Over on the Worst history books thread at Civil War Talk, El B nominated:

Encounters in the New World: A History in Documents, 1999, by Jill Lepore. This is a junior high textbook (written by a Harvard professor and published by Oxford, no less) that is so bad, we use it in our grad school to break first-term grad students of their innate fear of credentials. ...

When your history book is used to teach the next generation how *not* to write history, it's a bad book. 

Anyway, after writing a scathing review at Amazon, I decided that a better approach would be to publish my own dissection of Lepore's SJW approach to history* and make it free as much as possible.

Yeah, I already got mine.  So... hush.  I already told him I'll read it when I can.  The book bombs have started going off from at Vox's, so...  Who knows.  Still, there you go.  His actual blog (the author) is here, if you care to visit.
