How does history get tangled and twisted sometimes? How do inaccurate accounts and historical myths get passed along down through time? And... most importantly, what resources exist to help straighten it out! This presentation focuses on multiple resources that can be used not only to investigate the history of Oakland County but also to correct some common errors.  We will examine questions such as: How do you determine something is inaccurate in history? How do you know if a source is reliable? Why are dates frequently incorrect? How come people got it so mixed up?"

Presenter: Carol Bacak Egbo
