I very much agree that the more period sources, the better. A couple years ago were discussing a very early 19th century Manual for Military Riflemen and even though the Manual was entirely documented and had been regarded as "chiseled in stone" for years, it had some really bad bum scoop in it. During the discussion or later, it came out somewhat accidentally and thanks to the internet, that the American author had to have plagiarized a slightly earlier British Manual and the weird stuff was not in the British Manual. There are also plenty of types of original documentation that contain legends/myths/bum scoop that began before or during the period that are still regarded highly by many today, even though sometimes the legends/myths/bum scoop were disproved IN THE PERIOD, as well as later.
