Trivia – The appalling thing about my decision to stick with all known historical facts in my fictional tale is that I have been able to go back and insert major events without causing major structural damage to my later narrative.

For those who do not know the fictional from the factual, the basic facts of the major characters in this chapter are true – dates, who leaves, what is published, the search party and the way they found the man they were looking for. Elvira and Jonathan didn’t keep journals during this time, so while their part of the story is plausible, I certainly hope they didn’t have to live what I put them through in this fiction. But what I imply about JCB is based on documents and affidavits.
