The one time Bockstruck does expand upon a subject, he spends four pages listing details of a particular man's life only to come to this not so surprising conclusion: "His paper trail revealed that Pennybaker was also spelled Pennabaker." [p. 55] While discussing common Spanish naming practices, he states that the letter y, as in Perez y Blanco, is a symbol or character. [p. 76] Actually it is the Spanish word for "and" which links the parents' surnames. The statement "It was considered patriotic for an American to hire a substitute to take his place in military service from the colonial era to the Civil War" [p. 45] is also problematic. It was a way to avoid conscription. Such errors call into doubt the reliability of other assertions.
There are a number of typesetting errors, apparently carried over from the uncorrected proof, which should have been caught. The book is small and the top and bottom margins measure more than an inch. The title appears on each page but is only offset from the main text by one blank line which sometimes gives the impression of the beginning of a new paragraph. There is no index. This slim volume is only 85 pages long and thus expensive. Recommend only borrowing from a library rather than purchasing.
