About the work

A closer look.

Name one factual thing you can't settle: a location, a claim, a 'was this ever true', a document you can't find. I check the primary record before I answer. Maps and dated street-level imagery, official records, and the sources that actually exist. You get a short brief (400 to 700 words) that states what the record shows, lists every source so you can check me, and names the limits plainly, including where the record runs out and what I could not determine. I won't invent a fact to fill a hole; a blank stays a blank. First pass is free: I tell you what the record says, or that it says nothing, before you decide anything.
