Julianna, your comment above also applies to many pages in my website. The page you cited was written almost 25 years ago. I was writing as an 8th grade social studies teacher, not a historian. I was simply trying to put something together to aid kids with their studies. I did not use footnotes or endnotes, and I often simply included things I had read previously. I have no memory of where I read that information on "new spurs;" I can only say I would have read it somewhere in a source written prior to 1997 or 1998. Over the past few years my attention has been mostly to family, and I haven't touched (or updated) the vast majority of the pages for awhile.
