According to the author, there are no historical resources we can trust at face value. Records simply offer evidence, and their assertions may or may not be true. To decide what actually happened, we must understand those records. To analyze that evidence and judge what to believe, we also need particular facts about those records. This reference book is the definitive guide to assist researchers in accurately citing and evaluating sources.

Behind each picture lies the story of people -- people who value their enviroment, heritage, and independance; people who adapt to changing technology but preserve family feeling; people who rally to celebrate, to morn, but most of all, to help. The re-building of Main Street after the 1921 fire and after the 1973 toronado illustrates Brightonian determination to move forward. This book celebrates Brighton's past as the cornerstone of its future.
