God, tell me about it. I've been researching stuff for my web site. I
have
been to a number of American Civil War battlefields, and I decided to
post
campaign and battle information along with the pictures. I went looking
for
some data on the web, as it was faster when I didn't have my sourcebooks
near
me. The amount of good information is quite high. The amount of WRONG or
just
mildly inaccurate information is equally high. The web has a lot of
information, but it's hard to know what to trust.
