I should have added that this thing is very deceptive because whoever
did the adaptation, uses some Williamsburg place names and familiar
names to give it the aura of authenticity. It's caused historians here
no end of grief for the last four or five years. Beware: It's pitched to
bookstores and gift shops by an outfit that supplies
eighteenth-century-like objects and printed materials for sale. And,
there's nothing in/on the faked Williamsburg version to show that is,
you know, a fake.
