I've added a page (also in blog format) where I can post some of the primary documents I'm finding along the way. Click to go there.

"Though he possess sweet babes and loving wife,
A home of peace by loyal friendships cheered,
And love them more than death or happy life,
They shall avail not; he must dree his weird"
("The City of Dreadful Night")
