 Typical Civil War nuts, nitpicking the facts and totally blowing past the fact the book has a ghost in it ;)

That said, I'm with you and yes all four of those are a gross violation of historical reality.  I hope Hood and/or his ghost takes the tour of McIlhenny's Pepper factory on Avery Island.  Of course if he went there during the war, it was a salt works, the Tobasco operations began after the war.  But I bet that wouldn't slow this author down one bit.
