Mr. Howell is an iconic and wonderful Mississippi author. However I don't read other authors works unless they are period authors. I lose a lot of information and knowledge however I also go into a soldiers biography with an open mind. I do check my work against his and find his information to be spot on at least 99% of the time. Hopefully one day soon I'll speak to Mr. Howell and try and determine why some of our information clashes. Chances are great that it was an error on my part.
