“Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses” George Washington Carver By Christopher C.L. Custer, MD I realize all history is written by people, and people have individual viewpoint- some have axes to grind, vested interests, or good intentions. So when you read history, at best we are reading history told from a variety of viewpoint. To remedy this, historians at least have to consider at least two of these perspectives. A good historian tries to write by evaluating often contradictory evidence and hope the answer they get lies somewhere between the two views. The desire to know the truth, by having a honest unbiased evaluation, to me, should be the ultimate goal of any historian worth his salt
