It is always hard for me to rate books like this, but I found Nellie's investigative journalism fascinating and eye-opening for its time. While I wish she delved more into the treatment of people within the story, I know there were many constraints and difficulties surrounding this. This is a good read for those wishing to know more about the treatment of those in historic past, though be warned there is no fair treatment of these individuals.
