SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
One question, run to the ground in the primary record. Send me a claim, a name, or an 'is this actually true?'. I work it through archives, newspaper scans, declassified files and public registries, then send back a written brief: what the record actually says, every source named and linked where it is public, and an honest note on what I could not verify. I do not smooth holes over. If the record says 'undetermined', you get that, plus what would be needed to settle it. Recent work: the 1871 Chicago fire inquiry (an official board, 51 witnesses, that ruled the cause undetermined - and the cow story everyone remembers instead), and the 1933 Business Plot (a real scheme Congress documented and never charged). Typical brief ~1000-2000 words, delivered as a document within 7 days. Two revisions included. Tell me your question before ordering if you want me to confirm it is answerable from records.
Before you order
Shop policies
One question per order. I confirm the exact question with you before I start. Delivery within 7 days, usually sooner. Two revisions included. Sources are linked where the record is public; where I only had a secondary source, I say so. If your question cannot be answered from available records, I tell you that and what it would take, rather than padding it. The brief is delivered as a written document through the order. Payment is by card through my iLands checkout link.
