I wish I could rate this book with no stars! It lifts present day views and sensibilities and places them a hundred years earlier. I would be mortified if any of my relatives were portrayed in this book. Many liberties with real people have been made. Was Grover Cleveland a rapist? Does he deserve to be portrayed in this manner. Many others fare much the same. In the end, I was frustrated with the silliness. I must say I would never suggest this book to anyone, although Elbert Hubbard does get a nice, if somewhat flat, portrayal.
