Some of the information was really great. The photos were wonderful. Just lacked info. More of a picture book than informational. Also, I'm not sure who proof reads for this publisher, but they always miss stuff. This is about the 3rd book I've bought by Schiffer with wrong info in it. What I recall the most about this book is that on page 75, the author and editor both got the name of our founder wrong. JAMES Ogelthorpe founded Savannah. Not John as published. Disappointing.
