I think Wilson knows a little bit more than the average person about tripping illustrators.
"Good for you."
I think the problem is that the subject matter is supposed to be history. That's why the Amazon review makes a significant point. They bought the book with that expectation. If the guy was trying to turn out something else, maybe we're in the realm of subjective evaluation/art. And I do not claim to have any expertise in that area. But this stuff is flat out strange for its purpose.I think Wilson knows a little bit more than the average person about tripping illustrators.
"...Gregory Newson, a talented artist..."
To be fair, Newson is talented, I mean I could never draw as good as him. He just decides to draw on more interesting topics than others.
Using the term colored in 2025 seems really odd.

Considering this is from 2018 I'm assuming it went nowhere?
I missed his source notes for those numbers. The two guys whose images he's using don't seem to be among them. That's also a new genre in Civil War literature - "factual graphic" ....
