The
material contained in these guidelines is derived from a variety of sources.
It has been obtained from research books, site visits, eyewitness accounts,
archives, and other historical sources. In addition, each year the
feedback received from participants, site personnel, and the public has
been noted for future reference.
This document would not have been possible without the wealth of information
and ideas I was asked to indite. These, and the editing, were provided
by: Karen E. Wood, Chris and Jennifer Timm, Dr. Lyle Calcamuggio, David
Challenger, Dr. Joyce Donley, Keith and Laura Enoch, Patty Hughes, Scott
Paterson, John McMorland, Dr. Lillian Wakeley, Phillip Donley, Tom Hurlbut,
Russell Middleton, and many other fine people.
No document of this type is ever complete. Understand that as new
information becomes available, this document will be added to, changed,
amended, and ameliorated. If you have pertinent source documents
or research materials containing additional items of interest, please
send them along.
There are some absolutes in history, many things we very strongly believe
based upon the evidence, and a number of things of which we have a good
understanding gleaned from source material. I have tried to avoid
the words “always” and “never” unless the subject
is beyond question, e.g. polyester was never worn in the 18th Century.
I have however made some strong statements, stopping short of absolutes,
on topics where there is no known evidence to support anything else.
CLAN CHIEFS AND UNIT COMMANDERS, PLEASE MAKE SURE A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT
IS DISTRIBUTED TO, AND READ BY, ALL OF YOUR PARTICIPANTS.
