One difficulty about writing a historical is accuracy. I have to do quite a bit of research. I have to look up when an item was invented if I'm not certain. I remember I had to look up shotgun, because I didn't know if it had been invented by 1820. If memory serves me right, it had. I also discovered that Scotland Yard was formed in 1829, so I couldn't refer to them. Even though the airplane hadn't been invented, the concept of the "air carriage" had been created by then. It's quite a history lesson, I tell you.
I'll discuss fashion in my next post. I love historical costume!
