The story, as it is now told, mixes facts with legends. Both are important, but they should be distinguished in the interest of clarity. Editors should make it clear when they are using published histories, the words of enslaved people or free Maroons, planters' journals, history that records oral tradition, legendary accounts, popular fiction, hagiography, and contemporary or current oral narratives.

When I was in London in 1986 Jamaican oral tradition referred to him as General three-fingered Cudjoe. I had read of Cudjoe in a revisionist history promoting "men of colour". 08:12, 13 July 2015 (UTC)~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noel Ellis (talk • contribs)

Actually, it's Three Fingered Jack (Jamaica), who was different from Cudjoe. I've tried to separate the legend from the fact. I hope this reads better now.Mikesiva (talk) 14:57, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
