Mrs. Mad and I recently attended a lecture regarding the history of a specific region of our State. The speaker was a noted local historian that is a retired university professor. He had so many, easily verifiable, facts wrong I couldn’t sit still and had to challenge him in the open, yea I am that way. Long short I have been invited to give a talk in December regarding the history of another part of Nevada.

Most historians I have known were/are fantastic and I enjoy hearing their information. This guy couldn’t have been more wrong.

Yep, there are those. I’m curious, did he have an agenda in the wrong facts or just didn’t do proper research....or went with local tales that he didn’t bother to verify?
