Errors & Honest Mistakes
Those That Were Not Intentionally Misrepresented
==================
We all make mistakes. I make a LOT of them. We all know we can't trust everything we read - whether it was written 100 years ago, or 100 minutes ago. All historians are human, and we all make mistakes.
When I first wrote about Emory Malick, I wrote that he was the first black aviator. After all, the Smithsonian had an article saying so. Turns out, even the Smithsonian is wrong sometimes. It's still a great story, his race really shouldn't matter - he was still the first aviator in that area. |
Not built by Native Americans, as so many articles persist in saying... this one was built in 1908 by John Tooey. [Anything before 1904 was almost definitively destroyed in the ice flood - those gorges were immense, and lasted through June in 1904.] |
