Val asked Erica Vetsch:

I see we both are in the like mind about history. I love learning about the old western times but I can never remember everything! How do you use all the things you learn about history in your books without it sounding like a boring history lesson?

Erica Vetsch I think the trick is to enjoy the research, but to treat it like an iceberg. The top 10% might show up in the story, but the rest remains unseen. Have the character interact with historical things and events and make them organic to the story.
