Fact versus fiction regarding Mary Baker Eddy's life

Mrs. Eddy’s Reply to McClure’s Magazine begins on page 308 and ends on page 316.  We find that it is refutation of errors she found in the articles about her which were published in 1907 in a series of 14 installments. in McClure's magazine.  The series was originally purported to have been compiled by Georgine Milmine, but was eventually attributed to Willa Cather.

One can read all about it on the Internet.  The material was printed in book form in November, 1909, and was titled The Life of Mary Baker Eddy and the History of Christian Science.  The book was eventually reprinted in 1971 and again in 1993 and is still apparently available for purchase.  The sad thing is that this book has been used as a reference for searchers into the life of Mary Baker Eddy.  There is no mention that I have found that refers readers to the many corrections given by Mrs. Eddy.  I counted at least 20 important points about herself and her family which Mrs. Eddy has corrected in her article.

Once again, we have Robert Peel to thank for providing facts - see between pages 260 to 282 of Mary Baker Eddy: The Years of Authority.  

McClure’s magazine was classed by Theodore Roosevelt as having a “muckraking” reputation. 

I am grateful that Mrs. Eddy was able, in her Reply to McClure's Magazine, to provide us with some facts about her life and family which are not recorded in her autobiographical work Retrospection and Introspection.
