Curiously 8 years later Holmes mysteriously becomes reincarnated upon Dartmoor's craggy acreage in South Devon, England in 1902. WHY? Doyle's diary contained only reports ending the Boar War in 1900. Did coincidental interaction with Express Newspaper Editor and Author, Bertram Fletcher Robinson, change literary history converting Robinson's story, 'An Adventure on Dartmoor' into 'The Hound of the Baskervilles?'
