    This was full of incredible information! I'm a Registrar for my DAR chapter, and I shared it with members of my chapter. It's not only an excellent explanation of indirect evidence, but it's also full of mini-lessons on timelines, charts, and maps, as well as purposeful writing. Thank you so much.
