Hi,

Correction: I just rechecked my Conforth book. In the interest of detail, what Conforth relates specifically about the interracial relationship "myth," as he calls it (p.xviii), is that he was misled by one of Gellert's New York girlfriends, Helen Brand, who was perhaps looking for some profit potential in Gellert storytelling. He was not misled by a local informant in Tryon, NC. In his book, Conforth says he wants to set the record straight on that.
