Review: Where's the Research?

I've read all of Lee Thompson's books and loved them all.  But...For me, research, or in this case, lack of it, can make or break a book.  This story starts out in Salem during the witch trials of 1692.  The author speaks of tin cans, newspapers, grocery stores, paper bags any many other things that simply weren't around in the Colonies.Unlike spelling and grammar errors which can be fixed with updates, research errors live forever.  If you're bothered by inaccuracies like I am this book is not for you. If you can get past that, this is a great story by an otherwise wonderful author.  I'm just sorry he didn't take the time he should have on this book.
