Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice to see a book about local history.
Review: I personally enjoyed the book. It was an interesting look at a piece of American history often overlooked. It may be a little rough around the edges but it was very informative. As to Amy Scott's comments; "It is a man with little imagination that writes a book about historical events that no one cares about." I do find it hard to believe that no one cares about an accident that took the lives of almost 100 people. What might a 'bitter little woman' like that recommend as more acceptable? Does her emphasis on the lack of imagination of the author hint at a desire for him to make stuff up? While Amy may be happier sticking with her Dr. Suess books I'll be looking forward to see how the next one comes out.

Summary: Little Man Writes Little Book
Review: It is a man with little imagination that writes a book about historical events that no one cares about. The editing was badly done, with several errors that I picked up with only one reading. Yes, documentary literature has its place in the literary world, however this one would not be missed if it had not been written.

It has been suggested that he is writing a book about a Mass Murder. God forbid! Literature has been murdered enough in the past. Do we really want Murder in the Unimaginative in the present
