Blast, I read the chapter but overlooked that bit. Thanks for pointing it out. Good luck with your re-enactment group!
Could you explain your reasoning?
I am tired of this discussion as well, but punishing people is going a bit far. After all, if even the history channel gets it wrong we cannot expect the average person to know this, and as ljperreira points out, it did exist in EB's time-frame.
