The person that is the subject of this investigation may have been a major part of a major event or made a unique proposition or statement that was recorded. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, never left written statements or letters. The evidence of such matters as the date of her marriage is only secondary. There is no primary source that could be utilized to determine Barbara Heck's motives and actions throughout her life. She is still regarded as heroized in the tradition of Methodism. It's the job of the biographer to clarify and define the myth in this case, as well as to present the real person in the story.
