 is it?  there are still real facts in history that a good portion of people
don't know about.  Hell, 98% of Americans consider Slavery the right answer to
the question "what was the Civil War about"

>>I gotta agree with junior, here.
If/when you get the main HoE book, the Prospector's talking about how historical facts aren't matching with what he has in print.  Which can mean a LOT of things.  Point is, EVERYBODY is having trouble with how this all worked out, no one's sure WHAT happened back then, and to be honest, if I told you my great-great-grandfather fought demons in the Wild West you'd laugh your ass off at me.  At best, I'd be a liar, at worst, a lunatic, if I started believing stuff like that.

Besides, things quieted down a bit, if I remember.  The world concentrated on other things, like World Wars and the day-to-day existence of living in a busy world.  Start 9-5ing and you'll see months blur past your bored, tired face.  Ta-da! 200yrs later, we got Hell on Earth.
