142. 54-40 or Fight, by Emerson Hough (read 23 Feb 1944) When I started this book on Feb 18, 1944 I said I don't like it, that the book is anti-British and assumes it knows words of history. When I finished the book on Feb 23 I said: "No good. Anti-British, pro-Calhoun. I didn't like it, made-up history." ( )
