 | | No historian is free of errors, but the honesty, the feeling of being just, and the search of the truth, eagerness for freedom and independence, facing all type of dificulties, are necessary attributes in the historical investigation. | | | The real mood of an investigator is demonstrated in his aptitude to incorporate new and irrefutable truths, citing documents in evidence, although questioning the work and the ideas that have been defended for years. | | | I say "something very important", because I have many historians and simply criticans of Holland, Germany, France and even Spain against me. It is something logically, because it is necessary to bear in mind that suddenly many historical books will be without any historical value. |

| | McFarland, of course, had good reason to fear Whitaker would seek him out to make his case against the national organization. | | | Early on in my review of Whitaker’s papers, I realized in order to do the job well I would need to contact as many people as I could who, at one time or another, had known Norman Whitaker. | | | Needless to say, Kuhns and his friends found such activity meddlesome, and their distaste for Whitaker and his ways only grew accordingly. |
