Ken Hohman asked Erik Larson:

You're a remarkable writer. I have a deep apprec. for your research. The detail on Ferris and Olmstead (fascinating) in DITWC set a new standard. With T-struck, tho, I'm wondering how you obtained some of the minute details. Ex: "Ethel found that walking the deck with Crippen became less and less pleasant." Surely, she didn't express that in writing, right? Run into the same challenge in my writing, so curious.

Erik Larson Ha! But she DID express it in her writings. She left a small memoir. Very detailed, and hence very valuable.
