History is not a record of all the facts: that were impossible.
it is a record of some of the facts, selected for their significance, and set forth in such order and combination, with such a touch of realizing imagination, with such colour and life as shall cause them, if possible, to make the same impression on us as they must have made on those who were actors in the midst of them.

- Woodrow Wilson
