Nitty-gritty rough-draft work - creating the world in which the story takes place = stopping every two sentences to look something up on Google (when WAS the railroad built from Washington DC to Philadelphia? Did they HAVE a public hospital in Washington and if so, where was it?) (I actually found a picture - yay!)
It's one reason I love to go to the cities I write about, even if the city is no longer even remotely what it was in 1838 or whenever. Only on-site can you purchase - or know the existence of - those little specialized books that contain things like topographical maps and 1842 photographs of buildings that were torn down in 1850.
