The original debunking of the Dare Stones was accomplished by a non-academic magazine, Saturday Evening Post, based on supposed questionable motivations of the many donors. Do you think that the entire pursuit of Eleanor Dare’s heroic and tragic exodus should be waylaid without detailing the provenance of each stone individually. Some of the 48 stones may be fake, but prove it case by case…if you can.
