Postscript and Bibliography

My research has answered the questions which prompted this exercise plus several others that never would have occurred to me had I not begun this quest. And as such ventures often do it has also opened up new areas for further exploration.

Like some bizarre form of jigsaw puzzle that generates new pieces each time a section is completed, historical research is a self-perpetuating, ongoing quest for all those facts out there somewhere waiting to tell us about their past in how we got to where we are today. And looking for an author to piece the plot of the story together.
