What cannot be found here links to short dictionary entries . A site that is especially noteworthy may be included even if it violates one of the above edicts. Some links are duplicated in the Collections sections as appropriate. Individuals are indexed by popular or common name. Thus, Twain not Clemens , Billy the Kid not William Bonney .
