Does it need a proofread and an editor? Is 99% of it speculation? Yes. Was there uncomfortable interchangeable referring to enslaved people as 'fugitives?' Mmhmm. But for all its white-person-self-publishing-a-paranormal-local-history-book-in-2011 faux pas, it was very silly and I did enjoy moments of how ridiculous it was. I even came away with one spooky nightmare because I am highly suggestible. This is a loving 1.5 star rating.
I wish there was more exploration of the indigenous people that lived in Indiana rather than the passing mention. But to be fair, this was written before the decolonising lenses on US history expected now.
