Texas Jay: Saying You've Read This Fiction You Claim As Factual
View attachment 1534380
On top of this you make a statement about someone's researching abilities! Unbelievable!
Why do you continue to edit out the whole story? You didn't want to put the last sentence from Thrilling Detective in there because it says Riata and Spurs is a lot of fiction...It's misleading to people. Tell the whole story. It's not hard. If even Thrilling Detective Questions the Book, THAT should be a Big Clue....it's not a factual book.
You said you've got 12yrs of research by dozens of researchers spending thousands of hours on William T. 'Bloody Bill' Anderson and you just found one of the 1862 Trustee's notices YESTERDAY?...
You've got to get different reading and research material...'Thrilling Detective' and 'Riata and Spurs' aren't really what any serious researcher would use...especially with what you are trying to prove. You might as well use the National Enquirer and Jesse James Secret Codes..
With all the books you talk about reading, haven't you noticed that it's all the same stories, just worded differently with a few wild unsubstantiated claims added? You can read excerpts and the reviews online and that will give you a good idea if it's mostly fiction.
If you can on BBA...go to Council Grove, Ks, Go to Orrick, Go to Richmond, Go to Higginsville, Go to those County Historical Societies. I told you about the (supposed) Anderson Branding Iron I got from CG...He said they would use it when they stole livestock.
That guy had a ton of community and family stories and more locals joined in talking to my Uncle. In Orrick, Richmond and Council Grove a lot of families kept really good journals and diaries of what happened with the Anderson's and the events during the war. In 2014 in Richmond they had a 150yr remembrance of the killing of WTBBA. There were many people there with family stories. You can get a lot of accurate information going to those events. Get to know some people and they will share.. Most people everywhere that something significant happened are sick of the lies told. Talk to them nicely and be objective about your theory and see what they say.
William C. Anderson of Salt Creek Texas movements can easily be traced by official records.
If you're going after fiction, have at it...but don't state it as fact. You've clearly been mislead in different research areas. Why do that to others??
Be the guy who straightens it out, not the guy who adds to the lies. There's been enough of that. Expose those writers who have put out all the Bull and prove and document All of the actual facts that occurred. Serious historians will appreciate that and you would be remembered for it. You can impact a lot of history by telling the untold truth. Get it from the journals and diaries kept, go to the Confederate museums and historical societies of the areas you're interested in.
