Re: Brown County historians on Bloody Bill.

To refer to that article as "proof" shows an incredible ignorance of county histories. The writers relied on locals for information, and accepted their stories at face value -- the concept of "fact checking" received little or no consideration. Such works are riddled with gross errors, and no responsible historian wholeheartedly accepts their accounts without other documentation.
