Interesting stories of the Huntsville area
The book is ok, though frankly some of the stories seem a bit of a stretch to be ghost stories. There are numerous errors though some might be in the conversion to an ebook process. Misspelled words and words missing. The author does have some interesting mistakes relating to military matters as she has a division being a subunit of a regiment. She also relates a version of the story where Sherman has a cannon fire at some confederate generals during the siege of Atlanta and kills Gen “bishop” Polk. She states this crippled the confederate army which given Polk’s previous performance is at best a slight overestimate of his abilities. Anyway the book is ok though I am unsure if I would recommend it.
