New biography

[edit]

ECW Press published a biography in 2022: Woman, Watching: Louise de Kiriline Lawrence and the Songbirds of Pimisi Bay, ISBN 978-1-770-41659-8, by Merilyn Simonds. Publishers Weekly gave the book a starred review. Dgorsline (talk) 13:03, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Godmother?

[edit]

Greer and Bols name Princess Louise as godmother, as well as namesake, of LdKL, while Simonds (p. 17) writes that her godmother was Queen Alexandrine. Alexandrine is possibly old enough (14 when LdKL was born), but she did not become queen until 1912. I side with Greer and Bols. Dgorsline (talk) 12:23, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gleb's disappearance

[edit]

Simonds has Gleb disappearing from (and likely executed at) the prison in Kholmogory near Archangelsk (chaps. 3-4), while the current state of the article says that he disappeared in Siberia. I'm inclined to Simonds' version, but I will review the other sources. Dgorsline (talk) 12:36, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
