New Book

I ordered a new book just over a week ago and this Wednesday, it arrived. It was Shannon D Smith's Give Me Eighty Men: Women and the Myth of the Fetterman Fight and it is extremely well and thoroughly researched and she has introduced so many questions to the incident that no other historian I've read about so far has done. Which is great but also very annoying for the current story I'm writing.
I spent ages preparing for it and researching and doing character profiles and so on and now, I've found out in a mere couple of days that maybe all this work is riddled with faults. For example, the thing I was most happy with - the relationship between Carrington and Fetterman and Fetterman's personality on the whole - has been described by Shannon D Smith as not as bad as a lot of other books and accounts play it out to be. So, I have to try and adjust that a little. Even though, with researching, maybe it's not all that wise to suddenly change everything because of what one person has said, with her, it seems different. Her answers and suggestions to the questions she raises seem very plausible and the evidence that the other accounts I've gone through have provided are turned to represent what she's saying, and yes, they do back her up a lot of the time.
As well as Carrington and Fetterman's relationship, other things have to be lost, adjusted and added. The relationship is the biggest thing to be changed as that is what a lot of the other events stem from but the littler things count too.
On the other hand, she did introduce Lieutenant Bisbee a lot more than the other accounts and he seems very interesting too.
So now, I'll have to write down some notes from the book that'll come in handy and also try and justify the Carrington profile I wrote out to these notes. Also, I'll have to write a list of things to add, adjust and lose. Plus, anything else that comes to mind.
I'm not sure how maddening this will turn out to be.
