Errata

The worst error was corrected at draft stage. I had Heime arriving in New York and seeing the Statue of Liberty. When I checked, I found that the Statue of Liberty had not yet been built. They were collecting money for it, it was proposed, but not yet built.  Heime left his homeland, Ukraine, in 1880. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated in 1886. I also had the hero of my book, called Heime in the first draft, catching a train to the port. Then I discovered that Jews were not allowed to use trains. So I had to put him on the train clandestinely, trying to escape detection. Never mind. That created a more interesting story, with greater tension in the chapter. If I find any errors I shall list them here. Useful Websites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty
