Human Memory and History

[LincolnMan]

I do believe that human memory is subject to our own individual biases and slants as a normal function of remembering things. And I think what we remember is somewhat changeable as a piece of semi-hard clay. Over time the memories may fade and/or change. Some memories remain very much intact depending on the impression they made at the event. So are memories reliable? Sure. But not always. We must continue to have- in no certain order- sound scholarship, well-researched papers, and yes- first-hand accounts, etc..
