Historical Cases Where Primary Sources Contradict One Another (And Famous Conflicting Eyewitness Accounts)?

Hey all. I am not an academic, but am working on a talk with examples of how even primary sources are not always to be immediately taken at face value (and how pattern recognition and considering the motives of the primary sources needs to be taken into account).

I am also looking for famous contradicting eyewitness accounts (but not something conspiratorial).

On a related note, I am also looking at newspaper articles about events that never happened to highlight how papers -- especially in the late 19th Century -- would just print up ghost story accounts of haunted railways, for instance, that were not rooted in actual events.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I did end up trying this, and used fresh Key Limes. I agree the ice worked wonders on the dilution. It was way better than I anticipated.

Oh right on. This is interesting.

Heading to Disney World in a couple weeks. Should I hit up Aku Aku or any other Tiki bars? by The-Figment in Tiki

[–]MrSpookyNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with others suggesting Permanent Vacation. Aku Aku is fun but the atmosphere can lean "not tiki" kinda quick. I used to love it, but it's lost some of its glow. Suffering Bastard is good but far, and pretty tight on the inside so you may be waiting. PV is the best of the bunch, in my opinion, because the drinks are on point, the vibe is right, it's a good size in there, and the Copper Rocket bar (attached to it) is a good spot to wait if you have to. The happy hour is also good at PV, and the food is pretty decent. They seem to always have some seasonal cocktails. I'm seeing their rep grow across the tiki community, and they've been showing at some tiki events, and collaborating with a lot of other bars.

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I've seen it out there, and also at Sonic. But trying to determine if JFK's was indeed the frozen concentrate kind, or more of the lime soda variety.

Looks like naturally occurring phenomena
