The Uncomfortable Truth About Oral History

I find myself running up against these like incredibly sketchy recountings of Things that we regard as historical facts. It makes me very uncomfortable and I've had like two projects that I've been working on which keep running up against this exact same thing Where it's like oh, we know a bunch of facts but there is no contemporary record at all from the time that these things occurred We just sort of say that they happened. You're right. Of course, you know things I mean if you can't even mention the moon landing without the word sound stage what chances leaf erics and got? i'm uncomfortable because he hasn't made a lot of friends in the historical community.
