Brigitte, for the readers on this forum, I believe it is essential to 
cite the relevant primary sources. To quote simply what Deveney or 
Mathiesen wrote is not citing the actual original sources. 

Another example: To cite Godwin or French about Rawson does not help 
the interested reader understand the original sources that they are 
supposedly basing their conclusions on.
