4peanuts Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm looking for thoughts on differences/ preferences of one version over the other, specifically for the 13 Colonies/Great Republic. I apologize if I missed a thread on this already; I have searched but not found much other than people mentioning that there are two versions. In a very old thread, I found someone who said they thought the MP version was much better, but did not say why. If you have a preference or have seen both, any details would be appreciated!

Slache Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I only own the new one but I think it's lovely and the vocabulary is beautiful. I imagine the older series uses words like negro and savage, but that's easily rectified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4peanuts Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Which new version do you have, Slache? There are two different newly edited versions--one from MP and one by Christine Miller. The Nothing New Press website gives quite a bit of info on the Miller revisions, but I'm wondering how different the MP version is....or if they both made the same basic revisions regarding the negro/savage language...

I have the Christine Miller one. I didn't know MP had one, I just assumed they carried hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The MP one is a condensed version of both books - much shorter than reading both in their entirety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
