Tall Tales
I removed this material because it does not really apply to Venture Smith. He was a real person, not a folklore creation, and while being over 6 foot tall is tall, it is not beyond the reach of credibility.Leutha (talk) 15:28, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Source?
"The narrative is the subject of some contention, regarded in many instances as "whitewashed" and inauthentic. It was suspected that the white editor manipulated Smith's story, a common practice among editors of slave narratives." --It would be great to see a source for this interesting statement. 84.227.247.221 (talk) 01:55, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
