The person who is the subject of the biography typically a person who has played significant roles in a number of circumstances that had a lasting impact on society, or who has come up with unique ideas and proposals, which are subsequently documented in some way. Barbara Heck however left no documents or correspondence, so any evidence of such in relation to the day of her wedding is merely secondary. There are no surviving primary sources from which one can trace her motivations and her behavior throughout her life. In spite of this she gained fame during the early days of Methodism. In this case, the purpose of the biography is to dispel the legend or myth and if it is able to be accomplished, to describe the true person who was immortalized.
