[bksvol-discuss] Re: inaccuracy in a history

I think we're not supposed to make any changes from the way the author wrote it whether we agree with him or her or not. I wonder what others think.

I have been working on the Routledge Historical Atlas of Religion in America, and I have a weird situation. The book was scanned very well, at it appears that the text is complete. However, I found some factual inaccuracies in one chapter of this book. Now I don't want to spur religious attacks, but it is very important to get the story straight. This wasn't a case of misspelling a name. The authors inaccurately represented an event and individuals involved. Now, I don't know everything about all religions, but this makes me wonder if there are other inaccuracies that I wouldn't know about. I have never seen this as a reason to reject a book, but as I said when it comes to something that is supposed to be a history, the story must be right. Any recommendations?
