Well, I generally have very high respect for Dr. Hoole's works, but this particular work falls quite short on facts regarding events west of Tuscaloosa. His work was usually well researched, but for this event to have occurred only a few miles from where he was when he wrote that work, I'd have to say he really dropped the ball. A short drive in the countryside would have shown him the error of some of his ideas about the little battle. He even places King's Store in the wrong county! Heck...if he had just looked at map, he would have known better than that! Even in his own University's library were much more factual accounts. But, he chose to rely almost entirely on the works of a particular historical society and apparantly on some of his own imagination as some of what he writes clearly cannot be correct and has been found nowhere else in other works.
