Abstract

Regardless of how much time one puts into research, there will always be things overlooked. The frailty of personal memory over time also affects the historian; things that once gelled in people's minds inevitably change. Nevertheless, the writer marches on. Desert historian Marcia Wynn wrote, "From the first, I had only one thing in mind, to portray nearly as possible the true history of the camp."
