Some of you may be familiar with the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.
I looked up the Fremont today and noticed that there was very little devoted to them. In fact, the Fremont page is nothing more than a "stub". Wikipedia allows various people to expand stubs with more information, making the entry better.
It would be cool to throw together a basic overview of the Fremont and submit it to Wikipedia.
This would accomplish two goals:
1. People could be more informed about the Fremont
2. We could spin it to fit our theories.
Then, when O'Connel, Ugan, or Hey-sus stumble across the Wikipedia page, they will be shocked.

I thought about this as well, and I was considering just cutting back the chapter on the Fremont from my thesis to do it. It would be better to work together on it though.
A better tactic would probably be to present both the micro- and macro-scalar views of the Fremont in the article. Even just getting the gospel of Clear Creek in the picture is probably better than trying to ignore the opposition.
Let's be the grown-ups!
Chris, I was going to suggest you put your description up including the debate people have had in defining the Fremont. The one from your thesis was really concise.
FYI - Joel approved my thesis. I'm polishing up the bookmarks this afternoon and will be submitting it over the weekend. If anyone wants a copy of the pdf before it will be available on-line, let me know and I can email it to you.
It's only 2.25 MB, so it's not bad to email.
