It can be tricky to get one's story to fit within the timing of historical events.

one can change some things in fiction...I know I have for Tom Ugly but One does have to be close with real historical times like WW! and the Great Depression and the Sanish flu. then I put a disclaimer at the back of my book just in case someone reads it one day and gets upset.
