Ashton,
Every author is responsible for their own work and what appears within the pages of their books, Period. There are no exceptions. Authors employ editors to proof read and ensure there are no errors. Ample credits, sources and annotations are provided in the books.
For someone to imply an author is NOT responsible for their own work is either implying the author has a co-author or is completely incompetant to undertake the task of writing their own book. Unless a book lists a co-author it can be relied upon there wasn't one.
ALL Lost Dutchman Mine books are FICTION , western folklore with occasional incidental historical facts surrounding the folklore legend. Long on legend and short on incidental facts. Dutchman authors who masqurade their books as Non-Fiction Historical Documentaries are using bait-and-switch, deceiving the buying public and creating false impressions in the minds of gullible people who swallow the bait and are deluded into thinking the LDM is a True Historical Documentary.
Unicorns are a folklore legend, but just because the legend occurs in a place like Ireland, and seen by real people that can be linked with historical facts, DOES NOT MAKE UNICORN BOOKS NON-FICTION HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARIES.
There are dozens of LDM books that have been written. There are hundreds and hundreds of associated LDM accounts, stories, articles, letters that have never been published into a book and rest waiting for some author to pick them up and use them. To assume everything that has ever appeared in every medium concerning the LDM has already appeared in one of the published LDM books is ridiculous. Authors and ordinary people do find new associated pieces of related material occasionally.
I believe many things about the LDM legend, and there are many things I take along with it as pure folklore and legend. If I were to write a LDM book myself, I would surely be 100% responsible for whatever appeared in it and not try to pass it off as a NON-FICTION Documentary or someone elses work.
Others are entitled to their opinion, and are entitled to their delusions about the LDM being a TRUE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY. But that doesn't make it so, it is still just their personal opinion .
