lets see defination of history
A learning or knowing by inquiry; the knowledge of facts and events, so obtained; hence, a formal statement of such information; a narrative; a description; a written record; as, the history of a patient's case; the history of a legislative bill.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A systematic, written account of events, particularly of those affecting a nation, institution, science, or art, and usually connected with a philosophical explanation of their causes; a true story, as distinguished from a romance; -- distinguished also from annals, which relate simply the facts and events of each year, in strict chronological order; from biography, which is the record of an individual's life;
and from memoir, which is history composed from personal experience, observation, and memory.
Sounds like history if not written in point form by the second account could be mostly perception.
Reminds me of 4 people seeing an car accident happen and each sees a different colour car, or different people involved. They have even proven in stressful situations eye witness accounts are half the time inaccurate
But to those people their history of the event (thus perception) is accurate. Because once it has happened it is history.
Well back to our regularly scheduled complaining of what VFK is doing wrong now in our perceptions
