We are not supposed to edit content of the book.  We may disagree with an 
author, but it's not our purview to change anything.

  Subject: [bksvol-discuss] inaccuracy in a history


  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?
