Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-26 00:00:00 Georgio Allen This is a reprint of a publication from 1864 by British Field Marshall Wolseley on the American Civil War based on his personal observations made during a trip made to the Confederacy in 1863. He writes briefs about military and civil leaders and in the beginning supported Confederate independence. This is a good addition for the Civil War buff's library

Review # 2 was written on 2019-04-13 00:00:00 Paul Contoyannis Much as I would love to describe this book as a "laundry list of deviancy", I can't quite bring myself to do it. Yes, it reads like a laundry list, with descriptions of court cases, arrests and charges of indecency tumbling one after another with hardly a sentence in between. But there are hints behind the lists of some interesting characters and fodder for some good stories. Be warned: He is non-judgmental to a fault, and left me feeling at times that he was being too lighthearted about things that I find it hard to be lighthearted about (like rape and pedophilia).
