1-249070

A new account with new research that challenges many misconceptions and myths. Explains how previous accounts have been distorted by false reporting, false memory syndrome, ignorance of the site, and archaeological evidence. Among the more sensational revelations is that Lieutenant John Chard did not write the famous Chard Report, which has been the main primary source for the battle. Shows that neither Lieutenant Ardendorff nor the missionary Reverend Otto Witt was there. Drawing on previously neglected eyewitness accounts as well as the latest archaeological evidence, there is a wealth of other new information and fresh perspectives. Contains 20 color illustrations.
