"Yanktar" Oh, history can always be written from the letters, papers and memories. I just finished Manning Mirable's towering biography of Malcolm X. I don't think he ever met Malcolm as he was 14 when Malcolm X died.

Historians spend their lives trying to get into dead people's heads.



Point well taken, but it's like trying to know what color dinosaurs were. You can't be certain, you can only make an educated guess based on what is left behind. You'll probably be close to the truth, but only the dinos know for sure, and they ain't talking.

That's OK. They were probably color-blind anyway. Color perception is a pretty limited sense. As far as I know, only primates and some tropical birds have it--and probably some insects as well.

Historians live in the records others leave behind, both written and non-written. We don't know what Bismarck thought about Wilhelm II, who fired him. But we do have his papers.
