Dear Hugh,

Thank you very much for your response! All the different accounts of one place in time - my my. Research on this level must be mind-numbing. The work associated with fact checking on the sources of these accounts (taking into consideration the motiviation of the account..personal gain, character assasination or just pure reporting of events) MUST be daunting. I guess that explains why there's so many "bad" books out there that sell based on 140 year old sensationalism/self-aggrandizement vs fact - IT'S HARD WORK DOING IT RIGHT!! Thanks again!!
Warmly,
Stephanie
