"It was pretty easy because it was just a word here and there."
Any historical value to "Day of Liberty" effectively whitewashed.

I agree with Lighter; the producer Henry contributes salesmanship, but his remarks about "reliable history" are nonsense.

Tom Roush sings some of these old songs correctly on his albums; they are records of personal grief, emotions and opinions of the time, but they are only adjuncts to history.
