Author/Speaker Information

Author and Speaker I have done extensive historical and genealogical research and have written nothing — and will write nothing in future books in The Westward Sagas— that contradicts known historical facts, characters, or events. The books are written as historical fiction rather than as nonfiction to allow me to imagine and create details of how events might have occurred when those details are not actually known. All historical data—names, dates, locations, historical events—are as accurate as I could make them with comprehensive research and fact-checking. When information in various documents conflicted, I used the sources that were best-documented and/or the information that was most supported by evidence. I would appreciate your help in preserving and documenting all descendants and their stories. Please contact me to let me know of any errors or missing information as well as to add any other members of the Mitchell family. Corrections and additions will be made in the future books.
