The article mentions her husband, then (later in the time line) describes him as her fiance. Since I don't know which label is wrong, I didn't change either.
I also question whether this article should be restructured to mention Velazquez very briefly (given what little is independently known of her) and then link to a more comprehensive article about her book. The fact that her book is the entire basis for knowledge of her, and that it seems widely accepted to be fiction, calls into question whether it should be used as a factual source.
There are a lot of folks out there wh0-

NB William C Davis 2016 biography includes much research but is also highly problematical and politicized with his attitudes towards women, gender, sexuality, minorities, new ways of history and literary studies and his frequent publicly aired doubts in lectures about women soldiers. A youtube video from the American Civil War Museum is full of many disparaging comments about gender difference, cross dressers, transsexuals and LGTB people. As this book becomes more widely discussed Velazquez life narrative will become more complex. Basically he claims she is an ex prostitute and thief who was a life long con artist and attention seeker ... whether in fact all the references that he locates refer to the same person or are themselves accurate will I think become heavily debated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bebe Jumeau ( talk • contribs) 14:26, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
