| Abstract | An investigative review of "Liwwaet Boeke, 1807-1882: Pioneer. The story of an immigrant pioneer woman and her husband who settled in western Ohio as told in her own writings and drawings" (Herausgegeben von Luke B. Knapke. Minster, Ohio: The Minster Historical Society, 1987.) Addresses accusations of forgery and plaigarism in this book. "The publication of the texts and accompanying drawings in 1987 produced at first a wave of fascination, but questions were soon raised about the originality of the materials. Such allegations of forgery were dismissed by the Minster Historical Society... The results of [the reviewer's] investigation leave little doubt about the plagiarism of a number of items in the 'Liwwaet Boeke' materials and cast suspicion on other parts of the material that they, too, were falsified or plagiarized." Includes several illustrations from reviewed book. |
