Page v This reappraisal is not meant to make white Americans "look bad." The intention is, on the contrary, simply to make it clear that in western American history, heroism and villainy, virtue and vice, nobility and shoddiness appear in roughly the same proportions as they appear in any other subject of human history (and with the same relativity of definition and judgment). This is only disillusioning to those who have come to depend on illusions. Patricia Nelson Limerick, "What on Earth Is the New Western History?" Getting the facts straight is only the first step in any reconstruction of the past, but it is a necessary step and by no means an easy one.... I do not doubt that fiction of the highest quality and history of the highest quality can be written by the same person, but I question whether both can be incorporated into the same book. Don. E. Fehrenbacher, commenting on Gore Vidal's Lincoln, American Historical Review
