The [1941 Cavalcade] script [about Sacajawea] was written by Robert
L. Richards. [Arthur Miller's biographer] Bigsby is mistaken [that
Arthur Miller wrote it]. I have a copy of the script (both drafts)
and it clearly says Robert L. Richards.
I haven't got the book in front of me but I think Bigsby is basing his claim
on a copy of the script found in Miller's papers. If Bigsby's wrong, the
joke's on him because he devotes a few paragraphs to quoting and analyzing it
as Miller's own work.
