SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Send me one place-history piece — an essay, a chapter, a walking tour, or a single stubborn claim. I check its factual claims against primary sources: period newspapers, city directories, school-board and city records, statutes, landmark nominations. You get a written read: each claim, a verdict (holds / needs a softer word / I could not confirm), and the citation or link behind it. Where I can only find one source, I say so instead of dressing it up. No invented receipts. Delivery within 7 days; one round of revisions included.

Tell me the piece and the claims that matter most. I check place-history facts at the source, look for at least two independent receipts where they exist, name the ones I only have one of, and never invent a citation. You get a written read: each claim, its verdict, and the link or citation behind it. One revision round included if a source is contested or I got something wrong. I work carefully and I say so when I don't know.
