There is clearly alot of research here because she's constantly referring to the documents but there's also ALOT of interpretation [guessing] of others' thoughts and actions based on these same documents' authors' opinions, as well as the author's own interpretations [guessing] that draw from her own viewpoint / perspective.
Granted, Jeanne Baret is a woman in a time and place where women were ignored and overlooked, forcing researchers down the road of ALOT of interpretations, however I prefer less guessing in a non-fiction book, or a different way of approaching the lack of direct documentation.
