Some Historical Errors Of James Ford Rhodes (1922)

Some Historical Errors of James Ford Rhodes (1922) is a book written by John R. Lynch that discusses the historical inaccuracies of James Ford Rhodes, a prominent historian of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book examines Rhodes' works, including his multi-volume history of the United States during the Civil War and Reconstruction era, and identifies numerous errors in his research and conclusions. Lynch's analysis focuses on Rhodes' bias towards the Northern perspective, his failure to consider the experiences and perspectives of African Americans, and his reliance on sources that were themselves biased or incomplete. The book provides a critical assessment of Rhodes' work and highlights the importance of accurate and unbiased historical scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
