Kathleen,
Just out of curiosity, how many written sources are required to triangulate
a given whisp of history?
I am thinking specifically about such things as the Jamestown Narratives as
descriptions of the everyday lives of the Native Americans. I've seen folks
on this list insist that the Natives were "cannibals" because someone said
so in their writings, diary or letters.
