Moore clearly does want to make From Hell as close to the truth as possible. He did a lot of research (some with the help of Neil Gaimon I noticed too), clearly, to make the story jive with the real life facts. However, he's certainly aware of trying to make this a good story and not some dry history. It interesting to think about all this research done and then making a piece of entertainment out of it. I'm ruminating over that.
