This site uses a simple standard: if we state it as fact, we cite it. If we can’t cite it, we label it as rumor, oral history, or speculation.
We commonly use:
- Historical newspapers & archives
- City directories and local histories
- Old maps, plats, and survey records
- Court records and public records where relevant
- Books and academic sources
- Museum and library collections
If you want to go deeper:
Each story includes a “Further Reading & Records” section with links and citations where available.
