Talk:Eber Brock Ward

Obituary as source
This source seems to be a bit "romantic" about the subject. For instance, the line where Detroit had one frame house and some log cabins with cedar roofs when he arrived. In fact Detroit had at that time a population of 1400 served by 3 churches - Catholic, Methodist and "General Protestant"; a fort Fort Shelby, a school with 200 students teaching primary and upper level - including instruction in Greek and Latin and, legally, instituted as the University of Michigan. It was the seat of territorial government and location of one of the main land offices. Streets were already laid out to Woodward's variation of L'Enfant D.C. street plan and Grand Circus Park and Campus Martius were already established. 17:37, Rmhermen (talk) 8 November 2010 (UTC)

David Ward's account
David Ward, E.B.'s cousin and an accomplished man in his own right, provides a detailed account of E.B. in his autobiography (http://books.google.com/books?id=gE4vAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=eber&f=false). It isn't pretty. 71.205.175.33 (talk) 04:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment
This article is part of Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
