None of it, Mike... it's history!  Remember this, every one of those books 
was written so the author could make money, either from book sales and 
lecturing, or from grant money and lecturing. They all had a vested 
interest in the "dime novel" industry of the western myth.  That is why I 
love history: most of the time it is just conjecture, some of the time it 
is propaganda, and all of the time it is wrong.
