I sincerely believe in quoting my sources, which, to my dismay, some other less scrupulous sites do not. I've even had them practically plagiarize my site (you know who you are!). This has especially been the case more recently as the topic of Musketeers and the popularity of them at 'Renaissance' Faires has become more 'trendy'. I don't mind if you use my site, but either link to me or at least list these sources.

These people worked hard to research these things - show them some respect! Thanks!

Where possible, I have provided link information for a book. If it is no longer in print, don't fret... Give abebooks.com a try! I love them!
