The majority of times subjects have participated at important occasions and had unique thoughts or opinions which are documented on paper. Barbara Heck did not leave any letters or written statements. Even the proof of the day she married was not important. The primary documents that were utilized by Heck in order to justify the reasons behind her actions and motives were lost. Yet, she's considered a hero by the history of Methodism. Biographers must establish the myth, describe it and describe the person whom is honored within.
