Be sure to follow all the links and read the contemporary accounts.
The comments are very amusing in a sad way. I recently discovered that it is a meme for we 40+ year old people now to have the experience of 30-somethings passionately telling us that historical events we personally witnessed never happened.
The angry denials in many HN threads are a perfect example.
I've had many examples myself, but then, I'm a published writer. Right now the Reddit discussion of this article is full of angry (I presume) youngsters telling me I am totally wrong and frantically downvoting me.
