Query: Sloppy and dated

I am glad that I didn't pay for the book because it really isn't worth it. If you are looking for a more recent treament of the war, I would suggest Jenning's Empire of Fortune or even perhaps White's Middle Ground.If you are looking for a prejudiced, lurid, one-dimensional 'Injun massacre' book - I would suggest any of the works of Francis Parkman. His writing is much better, and at least his nineteenth century viewpoint can be used as an excuse against his bigotry.
