I second Sander here, Chuck. LeBohec isn't the end-all-be-all but he's chock full of good tidbits. It helps to have a frame of reference on which to hang the tidbits, though, which is why he may appear fractured and confusing at times. Absorb the more coherent basic readings as you've been doing and LeBohec and the more esoteric scholars will start to make more sense. These are just my opinions, and Sander's, and ultimately each researcher/enthusiast must make their own judgments where tenditious issues are concerned, as far as whom to believe. Let's just say not all writers and scholars are created equal!<br>
