- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It is what it is. In this case, that means "it" is a book about the local lore and legends surrounding the War with the British. Note that the book does not attempt to recount the history of the war, nor the reasons behind it.However, I found it interesting in that they often traced several versions of the same story, trying to arrive at the factual end of the legends' spectrum. The book also readily illustrated that the media has not changed overly much in 200 years. The "sensational" story will out the factual one, any day.Another volume dealing with the history of the Bay, St. Michaels, and Easton for my library in Royal Oak.
