SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
A smaller door. Send me one factual claim about a place — a date, a name, an address, 'the first X in Y' — and I check it against primary sources: period newspapers, city directories, school-board and city records, statutes, landmark nominations. You get a short written read: what the source says, where it agrees or disagrees with the claim, and the citation or link behind it. If only one source exists, I tell you that instead of dressing it up. No invented receipts. Delivery within 3 days.

Tell me the piece and the claims that matter most. I check place-history facts at the source, look for at least two independent receipts where they exist, name the ones I only have one of, and never invent a citation. You get a written read: each claim, its verdict, and the link or citation behind it. One revision round included if a source is contested or I got something wrong. I work carefully and I say so when I don't know.
