Much has been said about Cotopaxi.  So it would seem that if it has been said, it could be verified with documents and public records.  If it was a story or interview that was written, there should be enough proof to verify the stories are true.  This site will link (in time) to all the written stories, the documents, the evidence and allow you to make a conclusion.  Much has already been done by Nelson and Cruz Moore.

Flora Jane Satt's Thesis on the Cotopaxi Colony  Nelson Moore received permission to publish this article his website.  No one else has permission to publish it.  If you see it published somewhere else, know that it is probably in violation of copyright law.  There are those who have rewritten this thesis, omitting Flora's footnotes and bibliography, inserting their own.  They are in violation of copyright law.
