Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Lake Superior is the deepest of the Great Lakes?

Partly. One navigation text states Lake Superior is the largest and deepest of the Great Lakes, while a 1914 newspaper item claims Lake Michigan is twice as deep as Superior. The sources disagree on which lake is deepest.
