Craig, Reverend Elijah; Crow, James C.
Fresh full-copy audit: 302 sheets read and visually surveyed; selected evidence rechecked in enlarged renders. Evidence of repetition of Craig/Crow stories, not proof of the stories. Crow's asserted entire Pepper career and production firsts need independent historical support. Craig's entry begins sheet 87; the selected inventor and Crow assertions are on sheets 88–89, both displaying page 86. Verification concerns source fidelity, not independent endorsement of every source assertion.
