I had an e-mail from Arch the other day in which he denounced this book as worthless.
That becomes testimonial enough in itself to read the book. I read 1491 and it certainly is not worthless. If it wasn't for the plague of 1617 that wiped out all of Squanto's village of Pautuxet the Pilgrims would never have made a successful landfall. European diseases swept through North and South America before most natives ever heard of a European.

You know there's only one book that Arch accepts.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
