This book was very badly researched. Julius C. Loftin was my great grandfather. The author has part of the information correct, his birth place, his Civil War Record, the name of my great grandmother and where they were married. However, he listed his birthday wrong, ALL of his children wrong (I should know who my grandfather and father were!), his death date wrong and the place that he died and is buried wrong.
I contacted the publisher about this mistake and they said that they would pass the information on to the author. However, I have never heard a word from the publisher again or from the author.
I was so livid with rage at this mistake that I did not bother with the rest of the book even though many of my ancestors were listed in it.
Save your money on this one. You can get the book through interlibrary loan if you just must see it, but please keep in mind it was done by a 27 year old who probably has very little interest in YOUR history.
