...occurred to many to wonder whether the past was telling them the truth. John Wayne repeatedly re-enacted one version of the Fort Concho mythology, but the claims of other perspectives have been rising. Wayne Daniel, 38, Fort Concho's librarian and archivist, speaks wistfully about including disparate points of view in the restored fort-perhaps inviting Indians down from Oklahoma to help prepare exhibits.
