As part of celebrating Blackmoor Week and Dave Arneson Game Day I would like to direct to a great source of information the blog known as Hidden in Shadows written by D. H. Boggs also known as aldarron on many forums.
He is in my opinion the foremost Dungeons & Dragons historian of our time. I say foremost because he is an honest historian who does research and then talks about possible conclusions. Rather than the ways of most so called "historians" who start with conclusions and then appear to censor their research when they publish so that their original conclusions are always supported.

Here are some links to the good stuff on his blog that are highly recommended reading.
Almost Forgotten: A Published RPG Ruleset older than D&D
Follow up Thoughts on Cinematic Inspiration and the timing of the First Castle/Dungeon Game
These are only a few of the essays written by Mr. Boggs and all of them are excellent.
